Yesterday, I was acting like a total fanboy because I so excited about all these new great game that are going to come out soon from Nintendo. I ended up over looking the new Nintendo DSi which I think was very dumb of me. I ended up checking out all the specs and it needs some fixing.
I can't believe that Nintendo screwed up the battery life of their new handheld system. The battery life of the DS lite is around 15-19 hours, the life of the DSi is around 9-14 hours. I'm kind of surprised that they would do something like that because Nintendo's handheld systems have a great reputation of having an awesome battery life.
For those people who still play Gameboy advance games are going to be incredibly disappointed because the GBA port is gone. This is a pattern that Nintendo started to do a few years ago with the Gameboy micro and the original DS which did not support Gameboy and Gameboy color games. This is pretty much Nintendo saying "out with the old, in with the new"
The one thing that I don't like but this may just me being picky is that it won't have that nice glossy outer shell like the DS lite. It looks boring very boring to me because went I pull out my shiny black DS with the NERV logo on the outside, it looks hot.
To be honest I do like the other things on things on the DSi and that it is going to have a larger screen and slimmer design. I won't buy it until Nintendo releases a version 2 of it with the problems fixed or they make it shiny.

i wonder what happened with the battery life. if it's not going to improve, it should at least stay the same.
nice nerv logo btw. ^^
I agree, DSi is not as cool as it should.....
I hear the R4 isn't going to work on it too...
Still, some of the features are pretty sweet...
shiny. won't that leave finger prints? like the ipod?
I don't think they should focus quite so muich on aesthetics. Sure, it has a browser, it plays music (no MP3 support though... T_T) but what I really want is a stronger graphics processor and more memory.
That said, I'll probably end up buying it anyway. xD
*is wishing, yet again, that Yokoi-sama was still with us...*
PS Is the blog name Otaku-dan as in Team Otaku, or Otaku Dan as in Dan the otaku? Stupid question, I know... was just wondering, though!
@Destinii Haruya: it's Otaku Dan as in Dan the otaku
I feel sad because I don't have a DS (or any other console) T.T
My little cousin has a DS Lite (I happen to as well), but for some reason he wants the DSi purely for the camera. Personally I think that it would be easier to give him an old cellphone with a camera to mess around as it's too early in the system's life to justify purchasing it when one already has a DS Lite. I mean I'm quite impressed with what a camera can do in the Metal Gear: Solid game for Nokia cellphones (it's used like an optical mouse, but instead of using a pad you move the phone the room to look around in first person mode as if you were actually in the game environment and were looking about the world through a camera's viewfinder), but there are only a few DSi titles that take advantage of it and most are just mini-game collections.
When I first saw the Onyx Black DS Lite I knew that I had to have that colour. I mean the glossy, black exterior (which I liked due to it being glossy on both front and back unlike a few of the colours) just seems like an empty canvas for modding out via painting as it's got a lacquer-like look to it that just begs for a traditional Japanese design.
BTW, I must compliment you on your NERV logo.
