Buy Nintendo DSi

I’ve been looking at DS’s for about six months, now, trying to figure out if I should get one for my daughter. My daughter is eight years old and has been begging for a Nintendo DS for over a year now. I wasn’t sure if she’d play it, though, so I avoided buying one for her. A good friend of hers came over six months ago, though, and I watched the two girls play the DS and share it well between the two of them and knew that my daughter would really love to have a DS.

Now, though, I’ve been reading the Nintendo DSi reviews and am think that I should wait to buy a Nintendo DSi rather than a DS. There are so many things that I’m looking forward to with the DSi.

• The easy to use features – the DSi looks so easy to use, and from what I’ve read in the reviews, it is easy for everyone, including children, to use.

• Family friendly games – the games that go with the DS are almost all family friendly, so I know that the games that will go with the DSi are going to be family friendly as well. The titles that are out already are all family friendly and look amazing, even for a seven year old.

• The adult games – it sounds a bit bad, but I’m looking forward to the adult games as much as I’m looking forward to the kid games! I know that I’ll be able to use the games when she’s not using the Nintendo DSi.

• The charge-ability – the last handheld game we got needed batteries, and I had to spend a fortune on batteries, as the rechargables didn’t work well in it at all. When you buy Nintendo DSi, you get to charge it up instead of having to continually buy batteries, which sounds good to me!

• The accessories – I want to buy one first, but I’m already looking at the different accessories that you can get to go with the DSi! There are tons of  them, including a cool pedometer that looks great.

• The price – it’s so much less expensive than I thought it would be, and it’s nice to know that I can afford the system without having to sell off tons of stuff.

My daughter’s birthday is going to be soon after the DSi comes out, I believe, so I will be trying to find where to buy Nintendo DSi for her. If it’s anything like the sales in Japan have been, it’s going to take a bit of searching on my part in order to find the system! But I know that the look on her face will make it all worth it, especially as she’s been begging for a DS for so long. I know that waiting for the DSi, though, will be the best idea.
