It's huuuuge: Nintendo DSi LL (red) versus Nintendo DSi (white) Well, that didn't take long. Just two days after Japan's Nikkei newspaper reported that Nintendo was planning a new variant of the DSi sporting larger 4" screens (which it called "speculation"), the Big N has gone and announced it -- for Japan, at least. Called the Nintendo DSi LL, the hefty handheld will be released in Japan on November 21 for a price of ¥20,000 ($221).The device has so far been shown only in a burnt red finish and features a full pen-sized stylus. The whole kit's big -- just look at the above comparison image from Nintendo's site -- and really does appear well-suited for an older audience. We'll have more on the DSi LL soon.[Thanks, Dr. NOGAMES!]

When the hell are we getting a new handheld that isn't a rerelease of something that came out 5 years ago?

Funny that they are now going bigger. That stylus is huge! They might as well call it the DSiAmTooOld

This is just for ye olde folks.
It will still cost the same as the regular DSi.
