Remember that rumored revamp of the Nintendo DSi I mentioned on Tuesday? The one with the larger screens, aimed towards old people? In the immortal words of Kurt Angle, “It’s true. It’s damn true.” Nintendo of Japan has announced the DSi LL, an update of its hugely popular DSi, coming on November 21. The big features this time around are dual 4.2-inch screens and a large, pen-like stylus.
The DSi LL will be available in natural white, wine red, and poo dark brown colors. I’m guessing the more “mature” colors combined with the easier-on-the-eyes screens and a stylus that’s so large that you can’t drop it make this a winning combination for old people. I kid, I kid. I love old people!
Seriously though, I was on the fence about the DSi because I wanted more of an upgrade from the DS Lite. The DSi LL is totally it. Hopefully it will be coming to America some time in early 2010.
What do you think od the DSi LL? Are you going to pick one up? What do you think LL stands for?
I think it's a little late for the housewife crowd here in the US….but if it comes out here I might buy my mom one for a gift.
i like big screens and i cannot lie. You other brothers cant deny.
@rbee90 Outstanding use of Sir Mix-a-Lot!
I might being going out on a limb here, But why wouldn't they just make a black one? I would assume that black is the most sold color.
@Arguello Old people hate black.
Nintendo has confirmed the DSi LL for an early 2010 North American release. There's a good chance it will be renamed for the market.
@rpad
its renamed as the DSi XL here in NA…generic but cool in a certian way
@rbee I saw that as the name in Europe, but had to catch my plane back to LAX before I saw that confirmed as the NA name.
Almost home!
