Now 40% Larger! Nintendo DSi LL Japanese Release in November

6 Comments

Pronounced RR

While Japanese handhelds tend to focus on small design, the new DSi LL (and DSi XL in Europe) will contain large 4” screens and a new stylus with substantial girth. The street date of the DSi LL is November 21st, potential Q1 for Europe, and “further details” for a North American release.

The question to ask is why make it larger? I don’t have much space to spare in my pants and my DS conveniently fits inside my pocket. The DSi LL appears inconveniently larger which one would assume reduces portability.  However with a larger screen and pre-loaded software such as Easy Meikyo Kokugo Dictionary, Brain Age Express: Arts & Letters and Brain Age Express: Math it seems the target audience may not be gamers.

    Looks useless and unnecessary. Still, if it’s helpful to the elderly, okay then sell it.

    I get a lot of pain and cramps when I play my DSLite, so that may help me a little. I enjoy bigger displays and bigger button layout honestly.

    I wear cargo pants (lol 90’s guy) all the time. I don’t see any problems with me carrying this around. One time I fit my laptop in my pocket. That was awesome.

    … well well, what do we have here? The return of the original DS, only thinner?

  4. Estelle says:

    Wow, that actually makes a huge difference :O

    It reminds me of the classic DS. That thing’s pretty big.

  5. Link says:

    I’m wondering if it contains any actual improvements, such as a GBA slot or extra on-board memory/ram/ faster CPU.
    …Or if it’s just unreasonably bulky.

  6. Kuroneko says:

    The Bigger Screens i think would only be an improvement if the graphic res was improved aswell, with the current graphics i have no problem with the current size.

    other than that i think the extra ram, or power for the cpu shouldnt really need for it to go from portable to cumbersome..
