Nintendo DSi

At this Tokyo Games Show Nintendo formalized the new DS model: the DSi.



It got a 3 megapixel camera, a new online service called "DSi Shop" and bigger screens.
Nintendo kicked off the GBA slot (someone will cry probably), added an internal browser and the possibility to use an SD card.

The third incarnation of an amazing portable console. A geeky gif around the net say "It prints money!", I think it's true. Nintendo is playing the perfect match this generation, well done!




The sad thing is that we are not going to play with it so soon, we have to wait the 2009...
