Guide: How to STFU about the DSi LL
Topher Cantler | 10:53 PM on 10.29.2009 77 comments




Ladies and gentlemen, it appears we have another case of ...


Wait...

No, that's...

It actually IS kind of fucked up that they did that.

Nevermind.

Carry on.

DavidFayte's Destructoid Blog
I may think that is just a little too big for a DS.O.O I want a portable system, not a mini computer looking thing.
Topher Cantler's Destructoid Blog
Also, a brown one? Wut?
Neonie's Destructoid Blog
Ugliest thing I've ever seen.
king3vbo's Destructoid Blog
I fap to this
DavidFayte's Destructoid Blog
I know, it's..Brown.D: That's such an ugly color for a DS. I mean, WTF?:O
MowDownJoe's Destructoid Blog
...Aww... I was expecting another "How to STFU" guide.
Diverse's Destructoid Blog
I'm actually kind of wanting this. I like big screens.
MkShiranui's Destructoid Blog
I was hoping for an STFU article myself. The uproar hasn't really been necessary, even if it doesn't make sense to me.

I'll wait for the official review before I decide which DS to buy (unless Okamiden releases first).
Kraid's Destructoid Blog
JOURNALISM!
Niero's Destructoid Blog
LOL
Monodi's Destructoid Blog
Itīs still too early for an update of this. I like the screen size though.
The-Excel's Destructoid Blog
I have to admit I'm intrigued by the new colour choice.
Jordan Devore's Destructoid Blog
HAHA. I kind of want one, because I haven't owned a DS since the original fatass ones. And then I broke mine (never again).

Pretty sure it wouldn't be able to fit in my skinny jeans, though.
MrSadistic's Destructoid Blog
Just smear your poop all over your current DS/DSi and you have the DSi L(o)L.
Krow's Destructoid Blog
Truer words have never been spoken?
Death by Yeti's Destructoid Blog
that caught me off guard
GamesAreArt's Destructoid Blog
THANK YOU TOPHER. You have given me another reason I think you are awsome.

Stella Wong's Destructoid Blog
lololol
Hamza CTZ Aziz's Destructoid Blog
Awesome post!
TewDee's Destructoid Blog
Brilliant.

And I think that it's a bit too big.
Diaport's Destructoid Blog
I was pissed off about this thing all day.
Tubatic's Destructoid Blog
There's nothing wrong with the Double Down Browntown Edition DSi.

Its two huge screens with consumer rape wedged in the middle.

Not to say I don't want one to replace my DS Phat...
Necros's Destructoid Blog
I would be mad about this if a) I didn't still have a DS Lite and didn't upgrade to a DSi and b) if I wasn't unsure about whether I'd want something that big. But I can see why other people might be pissed off.
Topher Cantler's Destructoid Blog
I'm not mad, I just think it's dumb. I think anybody who bought a DSi might have decent grounds to be mad. That is, if they like this big ugly thing.
TheCleaningGuy's Destructoid Blog
I thought it was made for the elderly or something...
Benson's Destructoid Blog
TLDR!!!!
Zen Albatross's Destructoid Blog
I'm pretty sure this thing is bigger than roughly 80% of the sandwiches I've eaten throughout my entire lifetime.
shinigamiDude's Destructoid Blog
Nintendo's Notebook! Awesome!

On serious note, I maybe picking this one up to play Contra IV and Dementium since I'd been complaining about the game screen size for a while.
shinryu108's Destructoid Blog
ahhahahahah, gold
that's a big baby though, I might get the regular DSi sooner after all
ZekeThePlumber's Destructoid Blog
This is the DSi version of those calculators with the really big buttons and oversized displays made for grandma when she does her grocery shopping.
Tubatic's Destructoid Blog
Also, this will be perfect for my mom when Dragon Quest 9 comes out.
Ben PerLee's Destructoid Blog
That thing is too damn huge. If I want a bigass portable, I'll play Columns on my Game Gear.

Also, brown can be a classy color for gadgets. That's red wine. The actual black DSi LL is Dark Brown, and looks ok, but is too damn big.
GoldenGamerXero's Destructoid Blog
I swear Topher you are one of my favourite editors on this site and it's because of shit like this.

I like big handhelds but I don't see why they couldn't add a GBA slot for a console with full DS functionality. I already though the DSi "it's too small for one" excuse was bullshit now there's no excuse at all.
Sharpless's Destructoid Blog
I see what you did there. I like what you did there.
Stevil's Destructoid Blog
That's not brown...that's copper turd!
CaptainBus's Destructoid Blog
The new DSi LL: Makes DS FPS's even harder to play.
welkstar's Destructoid Blog
Well played sir. I agree!
Loogibot's Destructoid Blog
Once again, you've proven how awesome you are. Seriously, the DS LL is pointless, and I'm surprised Nintendo would waste R&D on it.
SadCheese's Destructoid Blog
Looks like its sporting the brown, wood grain atari look.
JusticeDude's Destructoid Blog
I already have an old gray phat and a pretty sweet red and black lite. Those screens are awfully attractive, but it depends on the price and the future game library.
stevenxonward's Destructoid Blog
You'd figure they would've adjusted the button size a bit on the LL.
SilverDragon1979's Destructoid Blog
I think the Atari Lynx is still sexier!
Naim Master's Destructoid Blog
LOL, I was raging at the headline, ya really got me!
Dexter345's Destructoid Blog
Topher Cantler, decider of what is okay to complain about and what isn't. PROTIP: If he likes it, it's not okay.

<3 <3 <3
Char Aznable's Destructoid Blog
I'm cool with my DS Lite, thank you very much.
Guagloves's Destructoid Blog
CRISIS AVERTED
Wintersocks's Destructoid Blog
Since my DS is exclusively reserved for bed gaming, The larger model is sort of a blessing for my strained eyes. Also I didn't buy a DSi so this will be my excuse.

pascuz46's Destructoid Blog
I had no idea there was "controversy" surrounding the release of the DSi XL. Why? Its just bigger.

 about me



Oh hai. I'm Topher. You might recognize me from such Destructoid articles as these here, or as the Managing Editor of Tomopop, or as the resident oyaji over at Japanator. Or maybe as "the dumb one" on Podtoid. But most of you probably know me as "the boring one" on RetroforceGO, our retro gaming podcast. If Modern Method Network was a row of Slurpee machines, I'd be the guy standing there with a little bit of every flavor in his cup. Except Podcastle. You need a monocle for that one.
