Discover The Attraction Of The Nintendo DSi

The Nintendo DSi was released in order to attract a wider and more varied audience. As the third extension to the DS series it needed modifications and a certain amount of new ideas to attract attention.

After several surveys and polls, Nintendo discovered the public ideally wanted a thinner machine with a larger screen so they produced the DSi. It is 12% thinner than it's predecessor so, sadly as a consequence had to lose the slot for Advanced Gameboy games but the screen now measures 3.25 inches – a full quarter of an inch larger than the DS Lite.

The first new feature compared with the DS Lite is the nifty camera. The resolution isn't that amazing at only 0.3 megapixels but the camera software has eleven types of camera lenses. Basically, this means you can take photos with various special effects such as turning them black and white, putting frames around them, drawing glasses and moustaches on people's faces or even merging two faces into one using the special face-recognition capability.

The next added feature is the audio player including a microphone which enables the user to manipulate the pitch and speed of sounds. Obviously endless fun is to be had here but it also has the more practical use of saving time when needing to get to an exact part of a Podcast, piece of music or speech.

The DSi can now access the web as well. With its own browser, aptly called the DSi browser, surfing the net is absolutely simple. It also makes it easy to click on the DSi shop where anything related to the DS platform is readily available.

Even the DSi, however, can be improved upon and a fourth member of the DS series has arrived in the form of the 3DS. In keeping with the recent trends in the cinema, the 3DS lets you play and take images in 3D. This in itself is something of a breakthrough for hand held consoles but, in addition to this, gamers do not have to wear the glasses which up until now have been obligatory if you wanted to enjoy any effects. A motion sensor allows for 3D game usage and an analogue joystick gives greater control.

Nintendo DSi is the continuing evolution of hand held gaming consoles. It's a hard job to keep up with the ever-changing face of technology but Nintendo seem to be managing it.
