Being the third generation in the family of DS hand held gaming consoles, the Nintendo DSi wanted to appeal to a larger and more varied audience. As a result, on top of enhancing existing features it has some new capabilities as well.
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 camera is probably the first, new, noticeable function. This has software with eleven different lenses for multiple special effects which compensates for the rather low 0.3 mega pixel resolution.Users can do various things with their photos from turning them black and white to merging two faces together to make one.
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.
This console also has its own internet browser which, of course lets you surf the net and more importantly to all Nintendo fans, allows you to access the DSi shop and get all the latest downloads.
Nintendo, however, know a good thing when they see one and aren't about to let this platform fall behind the times. The next member of the DS team is Nintendo 3DS. Around the same size as the DSi but with funkier colors, the 3DS, as you might expect, not only lets you game in 3D without having to wear those pesky glasses but also lets you shoot in 3D as it has an extra 640 x 480 resolution camera on the outside as well as a VGA camera on the inside. The controls are pretty much the same as the DSi except the 3DS sports an analogue joystick too and as an added bonus it has a motion sensor and gyroscope that lets you completely immerse yourself in the whole 3D experience.
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.
