When I first head that Nintendo was releasing the DSi, I thought that they were just doing it as a publicity stunt. I know that they were hit hard when the PSP came out, and even thought the Wii was kicking its competitors behinds, the PSP was a good competitor against the DS. I mean, the DSi looked exactly like the DS, aside from the fact that the screen looked a little bigger and the entire machine was a bit smaller, but it looked so much like the DS that I had no idea why someone who had itwould want to buy one. Now I know.
I figured out where to buy Nintendo DSi shortly after it was released and only bought it because my wife wanted to have it. Once she got it, though, I was the one who was addicted. I began playing the game that she had for it often, and then used the wireless router to connect to the internet and to access more games and stuff from the store. I liked that I could transfer points from the Wii to the DS, and so far I’ve gathered more points on the DS to transfer to the Wii than vice versa, but it’s made it easier for me to buy some of the classic games that I love to play.
The thing that intrigued me the most about the system is that it is so much smaller and lighter than the Lite, and the screen is a lot brighter. It is really easy to see in the dark, and you can control the brightness so that it doesn’t bother your eyes too much. I also love that the stylus seems a big smaller and easier to use on the DSi than it did on the DS.
I think my favorite thing, and the reason that most adults should buy Nintendo DSi, is the many different things that you can do with it. Unlike the DS, which just allowed you to play games, when you get one you’re getting a number of different technological gadgets, including a camera, a music player, and a game system. You can download and listen to podcasts and can save your information onto an SD card really easily.
The Nintendo DSi reviews are right: this is one system that any gamer simply has to have. It’s not only a great way to play games on the go, it’s a great way to combine a bunch of things, including a portable digital notepad. My wife now wants to get the pedometer to use with the DSi, and I’m sure when we get it I’ll be more addicted to it than she will. This is truly one game that’s great for not only kids but for adults as well, especially adults who like to play video games occasionally.
