Highlights
- DSi : Looks like a DSlite but has a SD card slot, camera, slightly larger screens, better audio, and web browser. No GBA slot. (~$179)
- DSi will have it's own version of WiiWare shop, using "Nintendo Points"
- DS games: Mario and Luigi 3, Dragon Quest IX, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles (will link the DS and the Wii).
- Wii storage: Play downloaded games from SD cards on Wii starting Spring 2009
- Wii will get re-released Gamecube titles, like Pikmin.
- Wii games: PunchOut!!!, Another Code, Sin and Punishment 2, Dynasty Warriors, and a Tales game.

Meh.
New DS is no big deal.
The rest will only be important if Nintendo gets their shit together. |

So we're getting Punch Out? Hario would have an orgasm over that.
Still no news of Kirby or F-Zero, so M'aiq still feels let down. :< |

It might end up as dull as DRY T-Shirt Contests. Have you ever seen a waste of NOT water?
As for the new stuff referring to the DSi, I think the Nintendo Points might as well be retailer stuff, that are more universal, compared to Wii Points. And the DSi having the Camera and Microphone means one to three things: VideoChat, Snapshots on the SD Card, and something that's like the Scanners of Chaotic!
http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/151777/nintendos_ds_lite_versus_dsi_by_the_numbers.html - Here's a report, complete with Tech specs.
| Quote: | Nintendo's new DSi looks a lot like the DS Lite that was launched two years ago but there are some differences. Here's a comparison of the specifications of the two devices:
Screen: The DSi screen is 3.25 inches diagonal width. That's bigger than the 3-inch panels on the DS Lite. Both are color TFT (thin-film transistor) LCDs (liquid crystal displays) with 260,000 pixels resolution.
Size: The DSi measures 137 millimeters by 74.9mm by 18.9mm making it a little longer, deeper and thinner than the DS Lite, which measures 133mm by 73.9mm by 21.5mm.
Weight: The DSi weighs in at 214 grams. That's a touch lighter than the 218-gram DS Lite but close enough that you're unlikely to notice.
Battery life: Depending on the screen brightness gamers can expect anywhere between 3 hours and 14 hours on the DSi versus 5 hours to 19 hours on the DS Lite.
Battery recharge time: Good news for gamers is that the DSi takes 2 hours and 30 minutes to recharge -- 30 minutes faster than the DS Lite.
Compatibility: The DSi can play software developed for the DS and DSi but lacks the compatibility for GameBoy Advance software that's present on the DS Lite. Any DSi-specific software won't play on the DS Lite.
Inputs: The DSi features a DS and SD Card slot. On the DS Lite you can find a DS Card slot and GameBoy Advance cartridge slot but no SD Card compatibility. Both have connectors for power and a stereo headphone and microphone. |
In other words, the screens are bigger, the Unit is lighter, the battery life is LONGER, it charges FASTER, AND there's no GBA Support on there. So, basically, it's the NEXT Generation of DS. |

updated OP with more info and videos.
PunchOut looks awesome. Sin and Punishment 2 should be great, because when playing the original you think "This would be much better if I could point and shoot" |
