Explore The Magic Of Nintendo DSi

By Ashley Indevil


Following the release of Nintendo DS and then Nintendo DS Lite, the third member of this platform was the Nintendo DSi. Developed with a wider audience in mind, this version boasts enhancements to some regular features and also has many entirely new functions.

Nintendo wanted to get it right and so, after screening what existing customers were saying about the other versions they came up with the DSi. This console has a bigger screen at 3.25 inches and is about 12% thinner than the DS lite which, unfortunately, means there is no longer enough room for the Gameboy Advance slot.

One of the DSi's new features is the camera. Although it can't really be rated for it's definition at only 0.3 megapixels, the camera does have some fun software. With eleven different types of lens, there are quite a few special effects available including framing and face merge which works on a face recognition ability.

Audio play is another new ability. This has the added bonus of being able to alter the pitch and speed of any given sound. It goes without saying that this together with the addition of a microphone has the potential for hours of fun in a room full of family and friends yet it also has a more practical use. Having to trawl through a podcast for an exact place is now a thing of the past as DSi will let you find it easily with the speedy fast forwarding function.

This console also has its own internet browser which, of course lets you surf the net and more importantly to all Nintendo fans, allows you to access the DSi shop and get all the latest downloads.

Nintendo, however, know a good thing when they see one and aren't about to let this platform fall behind the times. The next member of the DS team is Nintendo 3DS. Around the same size as the DSi but with funkier colors, the 3DS, as you might expect, not only lets you game in 3D without having to wear those pesky glasses but also lets you shoot in 3D as it has an extra 640 x 480 resolution camera on the outside as well as a VGA camera on the inside. The controls are pretty much the same as the DSi except the 3DS sports an analogue joystick too and as an added bonus it has a motion sensor and gyroscope that lets you completely immerse yourself in the whole 3D experience.

Nintendo always like to keep their fingers on the pulse when it concerns new trends and the Nintendo DSi is proof of this as a wider and wider range of people are starting to have fun with it.
