DSi LL got a big ol' butt, spotted in the wild photo

#DS #Fat Kids #Handheld gaming #Hardware #Nintendo

With the DSi LL set to be released in Japan this Saturday, display units have started popping up here and there to help Nintendo promote it. Anoop over at Andriasang got to peep some at the Bic Camera and Tsutaya in Shibuya today, and he confirms what many people seem to have assumed would be the case from the start: It's big and ugly.

None of the display units were playable, so there's no telling if the big screen makes up for the Gina syndrome. It shouldn't be much longer before these beasts start showing up on display shelves stateside, however, so we'll all get to see for ourselves. In the meantime, take a look at some of Anoop's spy photos in the gallery below.

Top hinges glossy part isn't flush o.O looks weird.

Topher Cantler

Compound LL Cool J pun.

de BLOO

Whoa, weird.

LL Cool J should always get more screen time on Dtoid.

Kraid

Listen to the way I slaaaaaaaaaaay YOUR CREW!

funran

lol awesome

Everyday Legend

Can you pick a DSi up from that shop...I don't know, around the way?

Daxelman

I want to buy a DSi LL and get LL Cool J spray painted on it.

plufim

I was expecting sir mixalot.

If the DSi XL brings the price of the DSi vanilla down, then I'm all for it, even with the XL being that ugly. More people need to get their i on.

Christ that last sentence is the most retarded thing I've written on the internet.

JoZo

I still kinda want one just because of the big screen.

Unassuming Local Guy

Our American bear paws still will feel cramped around this thing, probably.

...I just wanted an excuse to use the words 'American bear paws.'

Topher Cantler

For you whippersnappers

cornagandarub

Holy shit the DS LL IS fucking humongous.

TewDee

That is huge and I'm glad I'm not getting one. The vanilla one is fine.

shawn is boring

DON'T CALL IT A COME BACK, I'VE BEEN HERE FOR YEARS!

Savethellama

I wish I could find it in my heart to resent them for rereleasing a system 6 million times but I cant, its a massive hit and theyre gonna be slutty all the way to the bank. Heres to our new overlords, well soon be seeing giant mario shaped skyscrapers in every major city.

Tubatic

OH YEAH

Diverse

I think it's pretty fucking ugly, but.. I'll still be buying one.

Magesx

dat ass

gamadaya

"Wine Red"

That's fucking awesome. Can anyone make out what the other colours are?

gamadaya

Fuck! Dammit, I am not British. I do not know why I sometimes make that mistake.

The-Excel

I actually want one of those.

bigduo209

Well when it comes to makin' money Nintendo is still doin' it and doin' it and doin it well...

007

Bigduo, you bastard....

Yeah, I still kinda want one of these. I'm still on my fat DS so this would be a pretty decent upgrade.

comradetrotskii

What is the deal with that stylus? At least you won't be able to lose it down the couch, or the Grand Canyon.

Solid Squirrel

When did Nintendo start commissioning Wacom to make their products?

kingtobo

The colors for the DSi LL are way better than those of the normal DSi. However, it's way too large and since the display resolution is still the same I can't even imagine how ugly those huge pixels look.
