Nintendo DSi

The Nintendo DS is one of the worlds best selling handheld games consoles. So there is a huge amount of excitement surrounding the launch of the latest version the Nintendo DSi, which launched in the UK on April 3, 2009.

So what will be new in this updated version? Some features that will be built into the system ready to use straight away include the Nintendo DSi Camera, Nintendo DSi Sound and Nintendo DSi Shop.

The most noticeable feature of the slim Nintendo DSi system is its two cameras – one camera is on the external body, and the second one points at the user when the device is flipped open. As the first truly interactive digital camera in a video game system with 10 different interactive "lenses" that can manipulate your photos, the Nintendo DSi Camera offers an easy way to take and share your photos with family and friends.

The cameras also present people with unprecedented ways to interact with their games while giving developers a new tool to devise creative games and experiences.

Another enhanced feature is the Nintendo DSi Sound application, which serves as both an interactive voice recorder and music player that allows users to play with their music while they listen to it. Users can access different audio filters or control the pitch and speed of recorded voice or music files to alter voices or change the tempo of a song. There is also a stereo headphone output that lets users listen to music saved on an SD card, even with the screen shut.

The Nintendo DSiWare™ application will mean that software that can be downloaded using Nintendo DSi Points directly to the portable system, just as WiiWare™ has with Nintendo's Wii™ console. Nintendo DSiWare games and applications will be available at a range of values, starting at 200 points.

In addition to downloadable games, Nintendo DSi is able to play games made specifically for the system and sold at retail. The system can also play most Nintendo DS™ games, and will have access to a library of more than 850 titles originally made for that system.

The Nintendo DSi is available to at Amazon.co.uk, Game, Play.com, Gameseek and Amazon.com
