Pokemon Black and White's Limited Edition DSi Bundles

Pokemon Black and White's Limited Edition DSi Bundles

The 3DS' launch in North America on March 27 isn't the only new hardware Nintendo has planned for next month. Two limited edition DSi bundles packaged with either Pokemon Black or White will also be released on March 6 to coincide with the release of the two games.

Included in each of the bundles will be a Pokemon-branded DSi carrying case, a copy of either Black or White, and a DSi with an etching of two legendary Pokemon from the new games, Reshiram and Zekrom (pictured below). The bundle will cost $179.99, which offers slight savings over buying a copy of the game for $34.99 and a new DSi for $149.99 (plus the cost of a carrying case).

Though it's compatible with all DS system iterations, Black and White feature some special functionality when played on a DSi or DSi XL. The "Xtransceiver" device allows four players to video chat over a local wireless connection (two players can video chat when on Wi-Fi). When played on an original DS or DS Lite, players will be restricted to voice chat due to the systems' lack of a camera.
Pokemon Black and White will also be playable on the 3DS, should you instead choose to pick up one of those at the end of the month.

Nintendo DSi XL Red Bundle with Mario Kart

To commemorate the 25th anniversary Super Mario Bros. game franchise, Nintendo is releasing a special, DSi XL gaming system bundle for the 2010-2011 holiday season. The bundle is headlined by a beautiful special edition version of the DSi XL handheld console in Mario's favorite color, red.

The exterior of this DSi XL carries a notation of the anniversary and representations of some familiar faces from the Mushroom Kingdom of Super Mario Bros. Bundled along with the DSi XL is the classic multiplayer racing game, Mario Kart DS, which revolutionized play on the DS when it was released in 2005. This bundle is the perfect way to introduce players new to handheld gaming to the DSi XL and is a collectors items longtime gaming fans will cherish.

The DSi XL is the second hardware release in Nintendo's DSi product line and is a high-powered handheld video game system with an two extra large, 4.2-inch diagonal viewing angle screens that are 93% larger than those of the DS Lite. Not only does it possess all the features of the standard DSi, it is backwards compatible to all game cards designed for the DS, DS Lite and DSi, allows for access to downloadable DSiWare games and applications through the Nintendo DSi Shop and comes bundled with three DSiWare titles.

Additional features include touch screen control via the included full size, easy to hold stylus, the ability to snap, edit and share photos with friends using the two built-in digital cameras, music playback with Nintendo DSi Sound and Internet browsing with the built-in Nintendo DSi browser. From playing games to just playing around, the DSi XL does it all.

Mario Kart DS is widely considered one of the best, if not one of the most fun, multiplayer games ever developed for the Nintendo DS, and for good reason. Drawing on more than 30 courses and battle arenas from every game in the Mario Kart series – not to mention tons of new ones, Mario Kart DS allows you to play as Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Wario, Yoshi, Donkey Kong, Toad, Bowser and Shy Guy as you put the pedal to the go-kart metal, grab coins to max out your speed and blast rivals with the ever-popular arsenal of red, green and spiked Koopa shells in a race to finally put to rest the question of who is the true king of the Mushroom Kingdom racing circuit. The ultimate Mario Kart race is on…and online via your DSi XL's Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection in Mario Kart DS.

One of the most powerful and interactive features of the Nintendo DSi XL system are its two digital cameras – one situated on the external body pointing away from the user, and the second pointing at the user when the device is flipped open. The DSi XL cameras feature 10 different interactive "lenses" that can manipulate your photos, offering an easy way to take and share your photos with family and friends. The cameras also present people with unprecedented ways to interact with their games—for example the ability to import images into select games—and in the process provide developers with a new tool to devise more creative, interactive games and experiences. If the touch screen gave Nintendo DS a sense of feel and the microphone allowed it to hear, the two cameras and larger screens give Nintendo DSi XL the sense of sight.

As with the DSi before it, the DSi XL features the Nintendo DSi Sound application, which serves as both an interactive voice recorder and music player* that allows users to play with their music while they listen to it. Users can access different audio filters or control the pitch and speed of recorded voice or music files to alter voices or change the tempo of a song. The DSi XL microphone is located between the two screens when the device is flipped open, and there is also a stereo headphone output that lets users listen to music saved on an SD cards (sold separately), even with the screen shut.

The DSi XL offers players a wide range of handheld gaming options and applications. To begin with, the DSi XL can play most of the DS and DSi games published to date and going forward, giving players access to a library of literally many hundreds of games. Next there is DSiWare. Featuring the most relevant and fun on-the-go games and applications the Nintendo DSiWare application allows users to populate their DSi XL with software that can be downloaded directly to the portable system using Nintendo DSi Points, just as is done with WiiWare and Nintendo's Wii console. Developers big and small are invited to create software that makes use of the properties and functions of the hardware. Nintendo DSiWare games and applications are available at a range of values, starting at 200 points, equal to just a few dollars.

What new in 3Ds ?

More Hardware Features

Portable play control reaches a new level with these amazing features, allowing for new & unique gameplay mechanics. A built-in motion sensor and gyro sensor can react to the motion and tilt of the system, so whether players are twisting their systems side to side or moving them up and down, their motion-compatible Nintendo 3DS games respond instantly.

Game graphics have never looked better on a Nintendo handheld system, thanks to the two screens of the Nintendo 3DS system.

A widescreen display on the top screen shows 800x240 pixel resolution, allocating 400 pixels for each eye to create the 3D effect.

The bottom LCD touch screen operates at a resolution of 320x240—with both screens capable of displaying a brilliant 16.77 million colors.

With the Circle Pad, located above the + Control Pad, Nintendo 3DS offers full analog control in 3D game worlds. Combined with the touch screen, traditional buttons, camera and microphone input, and advanced motion control of the Motion Sensor and Gyro Sensor, the potential is extraordinary.

The Nintendo 3DS system uses its two outer cameras to see the world in 3D, much like the human eye, allowing for the creation of 3D photos—and a similar 3D effect to that seen in Nintendo 3DS games.

It hot! Nintendo3Ds

Real 3D Graphics.
No Glasses Needed.

Introducing the Nintendo 3DS system. Experience incredible gameplay featuring real 3D graphics, with no need for special glasses. Nintendo 3DS is a breakthrough in portable entertainment, a truly cutting-edge piece of hardware. It has to be seen to be believed.

3D Screen
The Nintendo 3DS system opens up a whole new world of eye-popping gameplay possibilities. The stereoscopic 3D display of the upper screen gives objects within the game world a feeling of space and depth that extends far into the back of the screen. It becomes easier to see the position of characters and obstacles in the world, making many game experiences even more intuitive for all types of players.

3D Depth Slider
A built-in 3D Depth Slider allows you to immediately adjust the intensity of the 3D settings on the Nintendo 3DS system to your liking. The 3D effect can also be turned down completely—all Nintendo 3DS games and applications can be played in 2D, and look better than any Nintendo handheld before it.

Nintendo DSi XL

You'll experience portable gaming all grown up with the extra large screens of the Nintendo DSi XL system, 93% larger than those of the Nintendo DS Lite system. Enjoy a wider viewing angle, a larger pen-like stylus, and 3 pre-installed titles to enjoy right out of the box.

introduction

If you subscribe to the belief that bigger is better, then you’ll be plenty happy to wrap your hands around the new Nintendo DSi XL.

BackgroWith more than 125 million Nintendo DS units sold worldwide to date, which makes it the best-selling video game platform on the planet, why would Nintendo supersize the system now? According to Nintendo, gamers simply asked for bigger screens, plus the improved wider viewing angle means friends can better see the action or play together (for example, the upcoming Photo Dojo game lets two players battle together on the same machine).

The Nintendo DSi XL still takes the Nintendo DS game cartridges (this is where parents breathe a sigh of relief), plus the Wi-Fi-enabled system also allows you to digitally download games and other software from the DSi Shop. Problem is, there isn’t much here yet worth your time, and what is available is overpriced (in comparison to, say, Apple’s online App Store). Most titles at the DSi Shop are either 500 or 800 Nintendo DSi Points ($5 or $8), compared to thousands of quality games you can buy for the iPod touch at $1 to $3.

While Nintendo has added some preinstalled titles to entice shoppers, they really haven’t gone above and beyond here. This includes a Brain Age sampler (Brain Age Express: Math and Brain Age Express: Arts & Letters) and two pieces of software that are free to download anyway: the Nintendo DSi Browser and Flipnote Studio. Even one full game would’ve been nice.

Conclusion

Here’s the bottom line: the Nintendo DSi XL is probably not worth the upgrade if you already own a Nintendo DSi, because it’s essentially the same machine but, er, bigger. On the flipside, the DSi XL is only $20 more than the DSi, so if you’re in the market for a new gaming device for the kids (or for kids at heart, like mom and dad), be sure to reach for this supersized model.

color:

So the new DSi XL will come in an unusual set of colors. No BLACK XL / LL consoles on the official release date (a disappointment for me) nd the Dark Brown Color, Wine Red Color and Natural White would not be my first choice if there were any other available. But be sure that there will be plenty of DSi XL full replacement housings, 3rd party LL Cases in all the colors you like and with special edition cases like Mario Case, Zelda XL and Pokemon XL cases coming right around the corner

Bigger Screen, Same Resolution

While the two screens are much bigger, Nintendo didn’t upgrade the screen quality, therefore the Nintendo DSi XL has the same so-so resolution as the Nintendo DSi and Nintendo DS Lite before that (256 x 192 pixel resolution; 260,000 colors).In fact, this is the same resolution as the original silver Nintendo DS that launched in 2004.

Testing and Usage

As with its best-selling predecessors, the bottom display remains touch-sensitive, allowing you to use your fingertip or the bundled stylus pens to interact with the digital content. One stylus is small enough to fit into the back of the system, while a larger one found in the box is the size of a thick ballpoint.

Despite its larger size — 6.3 inches wide by 3.6 inches long by 0.8 inches tall – this handheld system is still svelte enough to bring virtually anywhere, plus a new matte finish on the bottom results in a better grip. That said, the Nintendo DSi XL won’t likely fit into the pocket of kids’ jeans, and because of the extra size and weight (now 11.08 ounces, compared to the Nintendo DSi’s 7.5 ounces), younger players might opt to place it on a table or lap for extended play.

Playing games on the larger screens makes a big difference, whether it’s on the just-launched Warioware: D.I.Y. orThe Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks or with Nintendo’s new “lifestyle” titles that aren’t games at all. This includes the new America’s Test Kitchen: Let’s Get Cooking (300 recipes and video tutorials) and the upcoming 100 Classic Books due out in June (timeless literature from the public domain, including works from William Shakespeare, Mark Twain, Jane Austen and Jules Verne). Yes, the Nintendo DSi XL will soon be an e-book reader of sorts, too.

As with the Nintendo DSi, this extra-large model also features two cameras (one to snap your friends and one pointing at you), a voice recorder (with fun effects studio) and the ability to play your digital music collection stored on option
