Nintendo Unveils DSi

We all knew it was coming. It’s been one of the most talked about releases on the net, and last night made it official. The new DS, dubbed the DSi, will be 12% thinner (they got rid of the GBA slot), have two built in camera (one if reported to be VGA resolution), a bugger (3.25″) screen, and have built in music playback. You will also see an SD slot and some internal storage to enhance the multimedia experience. Nintendo

They will also be rolling out a “DSi Shop” to sell content. The unit will also have a browser application that is free. The store will work off the same point system as we have seen on the Wii.

Unfortunately we won’t be seeing the DSi in North America until sometime in 09, but if you live in Japan you can grab a black or white unit on November 1st.
