WiFi gaming capabilities and fun camera and sound activities make the DSi a welcome upgrade for most Nintendo fans.


Highs: Intuitive to use; fun multimedia options; slick WiFi gaming; online shop

Lows: Weak camera; no editing of non-DSi photos; lacks GameBoy Advance support; limited music compatibility

Introduction

Nintendo isn’t known for upgrading systems without reason, and the new DSi adds considerable power to the company’s handheld line. Fresh features like brighter/bigger screens, Secure Digital (SD) Memory card support and twin digital cameras prove cool introductions, just to start. But the system’s real strength comes in its downloadable games shop – something that might help players forget about the unit’s dropped GameBoy Advance support, and the fact it’ll be a mostly optional purchase for current DS owners.
