So basically they went to the Lite version like almost immediately after the DS came out because Japanese players didn't like the bulkiness... Now they're going back to how it was only slightly upgraded?! It's now bigger than the PSP and much bigger than the PSP Go.

What the hell did they add to it? Better Graphics? Inhanced web browsing? I need to know if this is worth buying when it comes out in the U.S.

Get lost in the... wait do I HAVE to change it?! D:
I'm still using the ORIGINAL DS for games, and it's working just fine. XD I don't see why gamers get every new freakin' updated DS... all the same to me. That said, I'm obviously not gonna buy this XP I don't understand why they keep making new DS's and why they sell so well... they only have a few good games (Phoenix Wright series, The World Ends With You, 358/2 Days, Final Fantasy III), the rest are crap IMO. >__>

It's pretty cool, though it does seem to be similar to size to the original DS, though perhaps thinner and lighter. The larger screens are nice, for sure. I'm assuming it doesn't have backwards compatibility like its brother, so it's still a no buy for me. XD

Fighting nobly for the Crusade, and just got an upgrade.
The ONLY possible way I'd buy a new DS would be if it made toast. And since it doesn't, Nintendo isn't gettin' my money.
Y'know, I'm not a very busy guy, so I'm usually free to chat via PM or IM. Message me for IM details.
I will do private Rp's!

Why!

The DSi itself was rather pointless but this is just stupid.
It has a bigger screen, that seems to be the only new addition.

I believe the proper phrase here is, ''you fail!"
:/

I still use my old grey fat DS and I'm still happy with it. So why would you buy a new one if it's basically the same? It's useless and a waste of money.

That's only your opinion. They are tons of other good games other then that.
P.S. I crossed out the games that I thought were bad or disappointing.

I want to buy a new one because my DS Phat's touch screen is slightly off which is a pain in games like Phantom Hourglass.

Anyway, I want to hear more about the XL but hopefully it will make the DSi's price will slightly go down so I can buy a new DS.

Well that's only your opinion that there are more good games too. ;) I really don't expect the DSi XL to leave Japan, I think it will flop hard.

This.

Also, if it comes to America I will lose faith in Nintendo.

Let's take a count...

DS, DS Lite, DSi... fourth DS? Am I missing any? I feel like I am. Either way, FOUR different DS models? Come on, Nintendo, really? Can't we just put out a new handheld, maybe even with backwards DS-compatibility or even a Virtual Console-like download service...? I'm getting sick of seeing all these freakin' DS's. >_>

Gameboy. Gameboy Pocket, Gameboy light, Gomeboy Colour.

GBA, GBA SP, GBA Micro.

Nintendo does have a habbit of releasing the same handheld with minor tweaks, its still not right.

Still, the Game Boys changed more when they upgraded models... Generally, they all look different, and better. Now all they're doing with the DS is tacking on bigger screens and removing backwards computability

I'm just reminded, because I nearly forgot about this thing. Game boy Micro

Hm, wondering if XL may share the same fate?

Just wondering? What I'm wondering about is whether the XL will be as over-hyped as the GBA Micro, not whether it will fail or not. That's a predetermined thing.
