Any system that has the chance of playing Neo Geo Pocket games is better than any other handheld on the market.

The Neo Geo Pocket I have already plays Neo Geo Pocket games. I'm just pissed I am going to be buying a new DS, with a damn camera. If we are lucky we may get a Gameboy camera style "game" complete with printer.

I wonder how many camera makers are going to be mad at Nin over this.

And, while I can live with a new DS model.. The new Wii (whenever it comes) is several years too late to the party, for me.

Agreed. I might be interested if they fix the dpad, but not for $180.

I don't care about any of the features. The only thing that would make me want to buy this is if there are games exclusively for it that interest me. Then I would probably be all over it.

Overall: meh.

meh...I has a PSP. I'll be fine without DSi.

(and major WTF at them dropping the GBA cart slot)

They did the same thing as the Wii.
GC to Wii, added waggle & shit online
DS to DSi, added one more touch screen & camera

I'm only getting a DSi because I never got a DS lite and want the new WarioWare.

4. Don't flood the C-Blogs with inside jokes, one-word/one-sentence posts, and other nonsense that might be considered trolling or spamming. Put actual effort into your posts.

You're just lucky you're Topher, or else I would have to call in the troops

Personally Im getting it no matter how sucky the new features are. Im just praying Nintendo have the sense to use the SD slot to allow people to play VC games on both their Wii and DS.

Seriously, why the hell would anything ever need two cameras?! It's like the PS3, back when Ken Kutaragi proclaimed it'd launch with three Ethernet jacks and two HDMI ports. That's just excessive and unnecessary.

If you want to know why they would do two cameras, it would be to gague depth for shitty eyetoy games. Our 3D vision comes from our two cameras in our faces.

Isn't it just a DS Lite with GBA removed and camera + memory slot added? Isn't that good?

I'M SO CONFUSED BY YOU RETRO PEOPLE.
