The Key Features Of The New Nintendo DSi XL
Nintendo are positioned to release a fresh addition to the ever expanding DS family ; the Nintendo DSi XL. The general agreement has been that this release is surplus to needs, but Nintendo have been fast to reassure users that this console is not intended to nullify the existing DSi, only to act as a different selection.
As the title implies, the Nintendo DSi XL is a bigger version of the DSi. The frame has been swapped for a chunky mould and the displays have been lengthened by about a full inch to 4.2 inches. These larger displays are a welcome addition and push the Nintendo DSi XL nearer to the display dominance of the PSP. Titles look bigger and clearer than before and, slight pixelation aside, appear much better in this case.
Along with the screen, the Nintendo DSi XL has increased the speakers built into the bigger frame. One of the small complaints with the DSi is the audio was lacking in some areas, so these speakers should sort out this problem. The Nintendo DSi XL also revisits the cool gloss finish of the first DS.
The Nintendo DSi XL is an alternative choice for those that like their videogaming a bit larger. Many game-players called for the DSi to be made smaller, sharper and less heavy to make the portability less complicated. On this note, the DSi is still the better option. The DSi XL is probably a wiser option for those that use the DSi at home or when stationary instead of travelling.
Therefore it really is a question of choice. The Nintendo DSi XL provides a larger, chunkier gaming experience but reduces the ease of travel associated with earlier incarnations. If this sounds like your sort of thing, then try it out. If not – don’t fear! The existing DSi is going to be here for a long while yet!
