I'm saying no. I don't think there will be any games released for the DSi that can't also be played on the DS lite.

Mind you, I'm not counting any "games" that are simply ways to play around with the camera and MP3 player, but I don't think they really should count, cause the only people I see being interested in those games are the people who are already interested in the MP3 and camera that are in the DSi.

The screen size is the same, the button layout is the same, and it can still play DS games. It's still being considered a DS and not a new model. You might have some games that have DSi functionality included, like being able to import pictures that you take with the camera or off of the SD card into the game, but it's going to be a lot like how the gameboy printer/camera; allows a little customization, but nothing game breaking.

If there is any boost in processing power/ram/whatever the hell, I think all it's going to be used for are specifically web browser type functions and also for running the camera or MP3 player while you're playing games. It may also be used for emulating GBA games, since running the games on hardware would no longer be an option.

Even if there are any significant games that come out for the DSi, I'm absolutely certain that the next true DS successor will either be able to play DSi games along with DS games, or the few decent DSi only games that come out will be remade/rereleased for the DS successor.

There won't be, save for the downloadable stuff, for which I do not really care.

Yeah, only the downloadable titles--no company would want to miss out on what is certain to be at least a 130-million+ users by the time this comes out.

It's out in the US in a year, and Europe is still TBA. Now, how do you expect it to sell 50 million by then?

Sarcasm detector broken.

agreed with above - downloadable titles only.

Don't forget games that end up using the SD Card.

I guess =/

Should get that looked at.

I wasn't being sarcastic by the way--the Lite will almost certainly see a price drop soon, and sales will be much higher than they were this year due to the obviously-much-improved software support over this year.

Some games might include optional camera and SD features, but I doubt there will be many of these and even fewer that require them (except the downloadable titles). It'll probably be about as common as rumble.
