Good timing? I think so.
I recently (four days ago) sold my Nintendo DS and all my games on eBay. I did this with the thought that Nintendo would have to release a new DS pretty soon, so I might as well get rid of it while it still has some market value.
Lo and behold.
During their Fall Press Conference today, Nintendo have – as expected – announced a new version of the Nintendo DS. Called the Nintendo DSi, it eschews the GBA slot (boo!) in favour of a range of improvements. The handheld’s screens have been enlarged, and will now be 17% bigger (at 3.25 inches) than those found on the DS Lite. As for the rumoured additions, both have proven to be correct, with “audio enhancements” made to the handheld, while it will also now include a 3 megapixel camera.
The DSi seems to have a lot of new features that would assume Wii integration. Virtual Console on the DS? Yes please!
The Nintendo DSi can adjust pitch and playback, making it ideal for language study and listening to music.
What’s more, the DSi features an SD memory card slot, making it possible to take pictures with the DSi and then view them on the Nintendo Wii. The DSi features a built-in browers, and its possible to download games and keep them on the DSi.

Good Job Fred… Maybe you’ll have to get one of the new DS’s when they are released. They sound pretty sweet. Mario Cart once again.
