Living in an area where things are always moving, I have the desire every once in a while to just sit, be quiet, and do something that doesn’t require me going someplace or seeing anyone. Now I can have fun by myself and yet with someone else at the same time.
Since I went to buy Nintendo dsi, I have been having more fun at home, by myself but also with friends. I love the combination of being alone and yet being able to interact with other people. I feel like I have a huge console because of all of the options involved. The reality, though, is that it’s really small – smaller than most of the handhelds I’ve ever even seen.
My favorite feature is the camera and photo options. There are two cameras, each with a different view. One faces me when I play, so that whoever I am playing against can see me. It is almost like a web cam, and it is very interactive. The other camera faces to the outside of the system, and I can take pictures with it using one of the lenses that came with the system. I can share the pics, so I’m really happy with the feature. It’s easily as good as the camera on my cell phone.
Another feature that I really like is the pictochat. I can literally chat with the person I’m playing. This can help with learning how to play better, communicating just for the sake of communication, and also be a great way to intimidate my opponent. Making threats and trying to deceive an opponent while we play have become some of the tactics I’m good at.
When I read some of the Nintendo dsi reviews, I was really impressed with the number of older people, meaning older than high school age, who use and love this system. Gamers come in all ages, and sometimes when you aren’t a beginner you might think that a handheld console like this one is not for you. I have proven to myself that size makes no difference when it comes to quality.
Sometimes smaller really is better. For me, it has made it possible to bring gaming to my house, play with my friends, and take it with me wherever I want to. It’s nice to finally have some real options with a console, and this certainly provides more than I’d ever imagined.
