New version of DS announced

Started by Peach12 pages

It is true. Which is understandable, really - if they make a game or something that uses the camera, how would it be usable on a DS Lite or regular DS?

I heard there's going to be some games that are DSi-only that won't work on the regular DS or DS Lite (obviously to get more people to buy the DSi). God, I hope that's not true.
It'll probably only be games that involve the camera that get made for the DSi only. If they start making all the games that don't involve the camera DSi only that'll be stupid but I doubt they'd do something like that.

Picked it up!! Expect a review tmrw.

They could sell a connectable camera...couldn't they?

None of this is rumour about the games, it is all announced fact. There will be DSi enhanced games, which work on both systems but use extra features to have more on ther DSi (probably looking at the SD card slot there), and there will also be DSi only games, likely making use of the cam and/or extra memory.

I'm off to get mine in an hour or so. And I reserved a black one. I would've gotten the blue one, but it just.... I dunno. Clashed with my eyes which had recently undergone a few dilating tests.

I picked it up at midnight, and was playing with the camera for hours with all the different things. Sure it's not the best quality camera but for some reason I was expecting it to be much worse. To bad the free 1000 points for the DSi ware wasn't that useful. I decided to get Warioware snapped but didn't like that. But I do like the Aquia game. Also like the texture of it compared to the DS/lite.

And in my experience the webbrowser for the DSi is much faster than the PSP version. But maybe that's just my psp being slow.

Got mine, setting it up now and playing around, it's awesome 😄

Edit: Downloaded the webbrowser, but I didn't see anything else in the DSiware that I particularly wanted. I think I'll save those 1000 points and buy something later when they have more stuff available.

This may be a stupid question but how do you even put music on SD cards to even attempt to mess with it on the DSi?

I'm trying to do that right now. Just make sure they're the right format. No mp3's.

Yea it's only like AAC. And I turned a bunch of mp3's into them but when I put them on my sd card it says they isn't any readable aac music. But I can listen to the songs I turned into AAC on my computer.

Apparently, in the manual, it says .m4a's,mp4's, and.3gp's....

Says AAC in mine when it talks about saving to a SD card.

I worked the Midnight launch, so I picked mine up about 12:20 am. Love the system, but I can't wait for a beter selection from the DSi shop.

AAC is .m4a. It's iTunes format, basically.

The guys working the Midnight launch at Gamestop I go to were playing with them at like 11 PM while the few people that came to the midnight launch waited outside in there cars.

But yea the selection needs to be better. Though I like the Tetris-like game.

All those are AAC file extensions.

Though it's kinda weird it doesn't support Mp3, it seems that that is still the standard for most people.

By coincidence I just ran across this http://blogs.howtogeek.com/mysticgeek/2009/04/06/easily-change-audio-file-formats-with-xrecode/

it's a free file converter and might be of help in getting the right files for your portable system quickly.

DSi ware is thin so far but then it is new; the Wii started with bugger all in the Wii shop but over time it awesomed up.

As for mp3- rememebr, the Wii photo channel supported mp3 at first but then later changed to AAC and made mp3 unavailable. Conclusion: Nintendo are too tight-fisted to shell out to do the mp3 thing. They can be asses like that sometimes.
