As if covering your cell and iPhone with amazing handmade goods wasn't enough, I went ahead and found five adorable DSi cases on Etsy that are worthy of a look-see, and maybe even a purchase if you don't already have your console protected. That DSi was an investment, no? Might as well keep it free of scratches and dings with one of these!
That rumored new DSi, with the larger 4.2-inch screen? It's real, and it's coming to Japan on Nov. 21. Said to be priced around $220 and eventually making its way to Europe in 2010, the DSi LL will be released in dark brown, wine red and natural white and as you can see here, the screen is remarkably bigger than the previous DSi, which had a 3.25-inch screen and the DSi Lite which had a 3-inch screen (the outline shows the size difference). The DSi LL is said to also offer a better better Internet surfing experience. I love how Nintendo is always shaping its products to consumers wants and needs, and I wouldn't be surprised if we see the DSi going even bigger.
You already know about my addiction to Mini Ninjas, which I played on the Xbox 360 at this year's E3, but did you know that this game also came out on other platforms? I haven't tested out the Wii or PS3 editions, but I have been able to get my hands on both the Xbox 360 and DS versions to test and play.
As you may know, not all games are created equal on all platforms. Just take Tomb Raider Underworld for example — although the game is entertaining on both the DS and Wii consoles, when push came to shove, I much preferred the DS version of the game for its controls and fun factor. So where do these two versions of the same game stand? Find out when you read more
Well, it will be soon anyway. One of the features that I love about the Nintendo DSi is the fun photo editor, and in the next Nintendo DSi update coming this Fall, you'll be able to send those hilarious custom photos directly from your DSi's photo library to Facebook. And as we all know, eventually, everything ends up on Facebook.
Japan and the UK will enjoy this feature first, but it will be a cinch to install for everyone. Just go to the DSi Ware section, download the free update and the Facebook app, and you're all set to go to upload your DSi photos to your online album.
This morning at Nintendo's press conference at E3, Gizmodo followed all of the announcements on their liveblog, and I couldn't help but get excited about three in particular.
The first one is the new multiplayer Super Mario Bros. for the Wii, appropriately titled New Super Mario Bros. The game sadly won't be in 3D, but it will come with fun new powerups (like a propeller suit) and an autozoom feature that will keep all four players on screen while flying. The New Super Mario Bros. for the Wii will be available right in time for Christmas this year.
