I’m still not entirely certain what makes the DSi different enough from the DS that it counts as a separate system entirely.

As I understand it, the DS sold (and is selling) rather well. What happens when suddenly Nintendo is releasing DSi games? Will people buy a new system, or will people just keep playing the DS?

What if this one lets you pick from a range of AC noises for an alarm? :P

@Lucky

I am more curious in that they actually think these types of things are worth paying for. I mean, the DS already has a clock in it.

Ugh? A clock? Mkay… Hopefully we get some decent downloadable content along the way as I’m really diggin’ the DSi so far (I hope they release that icey blue / turquoise color for the DSi too). I wonder if it would be possible to patch games? Say adding another dungeon and whatnot into a game?

They’ve been awfully quiet about the new WarioWare they just announced… I wouldn’t be surprised if it is or will get turned into a DSi exclusive.

Oh, I’m sure Vicarious Visions will figure out a way. The prospect of DLC on a handheld Guitar Hero would appeal to many, and I’m sure a studio as dedicated as VV would love to take advantage of that on DSi.

Other games…I’m excited to see DLC for Band Bros…this time, without all those pesky limitations. And I’m willing to bet anything that DLC will factor heavily into the next Pokémon. No more trips to stores to get your legendaries!

I’m actually curious as to whether or not Nintendo would consider a DSi Virtual Console featuring pre-GBA Game Boy games. I’m sure folks out there would dig it.

I doubt Guitar Hero would work on the DSi, though … there’s no GBA slot for the grip. But downloadables for other titles like Ouendan … hmmmmmm …

weird.

guess nintendo really blew their load these last couple years.

franky, i’m curious about what their next move will be, as nearly all of their major franchises have had at least one new game within the last couple years.

small-time stuff that people like me eat up like bit generations remakes and captain rainbow aren’t going to cut it for the masses, and wii music isn’t really decimating the charts.

interesting.
