When you’re a single woman like I am, the last thing you generally look for is video game stuff, especially if you’ve never played video games much before. I was not looking to buy a DSi, but when I turned 35 a good friend figured out where to buy it and bought me one. I started playing it just to tell him that I had and became addicted.
The Games
What I really love about the Nintendo DSi is that there are tons of adult games that you can play on it. The games aren’t just designed for kids. I love playing the Brain Age game that I was given with it, and I’ve been looking quite a bit at a few of the other brain type games that you can play on it. I even managed to get onto the online site and to play some brain games against other people, which was really fun – a lot more fun than I thought it would be.
The System
It is actually really easy to use the system – easier than I thought it would be. Once it got charged I was able to figure out how to use it really easy, and I love that I don’t have to worry about changing the batteries because you just charge it in the case. I also love that it is a camera, simply because I’ve gotten a lot of fun candid shots with the DSi system because people didn’t know there was a camera on it! I then was able to take the pictures and to play with them using the system, changing them a bit and making them really fun looking.
I have actually really enjoyed playing with the animated notepad and have done some fun drawings with it. It’s a good way to while away some time when you’re waiting for a meeting to start. I would probably never buy DSi for myself, but I’m really glad one was given to me. Now that I’ve become addicted to it, I’m starting to look at other gaming systems to see what I can get out of them and what I could play with them.
So far none of the Nintendo DSi reviews I’ve read have been negative, and I can agree with the assessments these other people made. The Nintendo DSi is a great system. From top to bottom. It’s as much for adults as it is for kids and I hope that those people who don’t enjoy gaming will give it a shot, because they will really be surprised at the different things that you can do with it as well as with the different types of games that you can buy for the system. And I am really grateful that my friend gave me the system, because I can’t remember what it as like to live without it!
