I am 23 years old, and I have just started graduate school. Gaming is my relaxation and entertainment. I love to have many choices when it comes to games, but my newest favorite is a console I never thought I’d own.
For me, handhelds have always been incredibly lame. I just couldn’t get into them the way I could with other systems, but on the advice of a friend, I recently decided to buy DSI, and I am so glad I did. Not only is it easy to take with me wherever I go, it is also easy to play with others, even when they are far away. I can take it to the student lounge between my classes, use it in the library, and even use it on the city bus. I really love the fact that I can challenge my little sister or my best friend who is at another college, and play them like we were together.
The photo sharing options are great too, especially the option to use the interactive camera. It makes it seem even more like you are both right there. You can also use different lenses, making the photos hilarious.
Another great thing about this system, and one that I use an awful lot, is the chat mode. I can talk to a fellow gamer while I’m beating him! Using it makes it easier to be so far away from everyone I know. We can, and do, still have some of the same interaction we had before I left for grad school.
I wanted to buy Nintendo DSI for all of those reasons, but it’s become much more. I have a friend who has had it for a while, and he kept telling me how great it was. When I went to visit him and saw it in action, I was hooked. Not only did I buy one for myself, but I talked my parents into buying one for my little sister, and they are very glad they did. My mom says it has made the transition so much easier on her. She is only 14, and we are very close. She’s the reason I did my undergrad work locally, but now, with this wonderful way to connect whenever we want to, share pictures, and even chat, we are both adjusting pretty well to the situation.
This is the best console I’ve ever owned, and I would recommend it to anyone who loves to play but wants some other very real features as well. It covers it all. Games, chatting, and photo sharing. What more could you ask?
