Forums - Nintendo Discussion - DSi first impressions (and open for general discussion)

I picked mine up today. So far I'm digging the new applications, and am looking forward to the apps that will come down the pike soon.

Haven't had the chance to play much on it yet though, but the screens do seem to be nice and clear in the games I have tried so far.

I have DSi, the blue one from Wal-Mart. The bonus, I got is a keychain with several icons that's similar as DS menus'.

This is from a person who had a DS Phat:

The DSi is an awesome system and it was a must buy for me. Even without popping in a game cartridge, there was so much to do. First, I started with the camera. Although the quality wasn't amazing it was still good for my purposes. The lenses that Nintendo offered for the camera were fun to play around with and it is definitely something you can't find anywhere. Then, I went on to the sound by recording a song via the microphone. The sound was surprisingly good and crisp and I could definitely hear the better sound. Then, I put a few songs onto the SD card (AAC format) and like I said, the sound quality was awesome. I haven't gone onto the shop, but I'm planning to soon to redeem my 1000 free points. (Hopefully something like VC for DSi will be announced soon) I also have to mention that the matte finish is nice and the DSi feels real good in my hands. The screens are only a little bigger but the diff is noticeable when playing. Even though the resolution is the same, the image was still good, not pixelized . All in all, the DSi is a great system and I would definitely recommend you buy it. (esp. if you have a DS Phat or you don't have one at all) If Nintendo is planning to release DSi exclusives, (which they said they were) then you should go out and get yourself a DSi now before everyone wants one.

judging by DSi pre-order sales and preliminary uk sales, i think everyone one already wants one. ahahahah

 



hello how are you.

I got a DSi yesterday, its by far and away the best videogame system I have ever owned. It feels lighter than i expected, the screens make more of a difference than i thought and DSi Camera & DSi Sound have blown me away. They're more varied and fun than i thought they would be and the system is so user-friendly. A shout-out must goto the manual. It could have just said that only ACC files are played but Ninty had the decency to put the bit-rate/sample-rate & filename extension required in the manual as well. Without that info I would never have got my music converted (all 5GB worth). The DSi is exceptional, truly exceptional.

Are you sure the DSi browser doesn't have Javascript, even the DS Opera browser on it's own cartridge with the expansion had javascript.

A browser with no JS support is near useless since almost everything has some JS.



Squilliam: On Vgcharts its a commonly accepted practice to twist the bounds of plausibility in order to support your argument or agenda so I think its pretty cool that this gives me the precedent to say whatever I damn well please.

@NintendoMan - yeah how good is the manual!? No more black and white stuffy thing, it's this full on glossy thick DSi bible. I didn't have to google anything, every single thing you need to know or ask about is in it. I just looked at it and said, 'oh, so that's where my extra £50 went!'. It even has slightly tongue-in-cheek pictures of what not to do with your DSi. It's awesome.

@Jayderu, I have no idea if it has JS but I know that I can use ebay, vgchartz, amazon, gamefaqs and hotmail, but not youtube. I don't have a clue about JS, but if that helps, then...

Edit: and yes the music visualisers rock. Especially the plane and the mario one. I spent a whole 6 minute song drumming with L and R to the beat making Mario jump to get coins before I realised what had happened.

I'm trading in my DS Lite for this in the coming weeks or more than likely at the end of this month. Gamestop is offering a nice deal if you trade in your DS Lite towards the new DSi, you will receieve $70 in trade in value and all I have to do is add $100 out of my pocket for the DSi!



It'd be better to sell the DS Lite on eBay. You can easily pull $90+ selling it there instead of trading it in to Gamestop.
