Is bigger necessarily better ? The folks at Nintendo seem to think it’s the way to go when it comes to their popular handheld platform. Just as the DS Lite gave way to the Nintendo DSi, the company’s latest handheld is also making waves in the portable community. Launching March 28, the house that Mario built thinks that the new, larger DSi XL hand-held system will make it easier for everyone to gather around and have a good time.
“For some people, good things come in big packages,” said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “Our Nintendo DS family of systems has been going strong since 2004, and this new portable system really lets players enjoy the fun together.”
Nintendo DSi XL will be available at a suggested retail price of $189.99, which includes three titles that have been pre-installed on the system. These include the brain-training games Brain Age Express: Math and Brain Age Express: Arts & Letters, as well as Photo Clock, which lets users customize the pictures on the background of their clock. Nintendo DSi XL launches in both Burgundy and Bronze, with a glossy top and a matte-finish bottom for a better grip.
The DSi XL features 4.2-inch screens that are 93 percent larger than those on the Nintendo DS Lite system. The improved wider viewing angle of the Nintendo DSi XL screens also provides a new way for people to enjoy games with friends and family, making it easier than ever to watch and join in the fun. Tech-savvy parents will also discover that the Nintendo DSi XL features parental controls. This lets adults manage the digital content their children can access.
The new handheld includes all the same features as the Nintendo DSi system, including two cameras and photo-and sound-manipulation tools. With a broadband Internet connection, you can also upload photos directly to Facebook to share with friends or access downloadable Nintendo DSiWare games via the Nintendo DSi Shop.
