My friends and I get together once a month or so with a new title. We are all between the ages of 15 and 18 and love to try to beat each other’s scores and outdo each other with game levels. We love the Wii and the PS3, but things have completely changed now.
I was the first one in the group to buy Nintendo DSI. I wish I could have videotaped the reactions of my friends when they saw my new console. They were not only surprised, but extremely jealous too. They were especially envious when I showed them all of the amazing features you get, particularly the cameras.
One camera faces me when I am playing, and the other is on the outside of the game so I can aim it to take a picture somewhere else in the room. It also comes with a bunch of lenses so I can alter the pics I take and create some that are totally cool. Not only can the cameras take awesome pictures, they also make it possible for me to see whoever I am playing against online, so while it’s awesome that I can play with my friends even if they’re far away, I can see them and they can see me. It really is an interactive system.
One of my favorite things about this one that no other console has offered is the ability to use it almost like a netbook. I can chat with friends, share photos, and even engage in gameplay if I have an available WiFi connection. I hope some of my gamer friends decide to buy Nintendo DSI, then we won’t have to wait until we get together to play together.
Gaming has never been more fun and more convenient than it is now. I even played with my cousin who lives in Alaska, and I live in New York. What more could I ask for in a handheld system? This one has everything I want, and more than I would have ever thought was possible in such a compact little console.
As for my group, playing online will never replace getting together, but it sure will be nice to have to have the option to challenge some of them at other times too, as soon as they get the chance to buy one too.
