Yep, I bought a Nintendo DSi, on gumption I guess, but I’ve always longed for a handheld from Nintendo ever since I lost my 1st gen GameBoy. Even though I champion my PS3 and PSP, I’m gonna try and keep this along the path of unbiased blogging, and if possible, short and sweet.

Dual Screens.
Dual Cameras.
Wireless.
Small form factor.
Wii like interface.
Dislikes.
The stylus. I try to use my thumb instead of it (mostly on instinct) and it usually never really works out the way I want it too.
Small buttons. My hands aren’t huge, but they are not that small. I’m either hitting the wrong buttons or my hand slides around them so I have to look at them.
The cameras. .3mp isn’t much to tout, most cell phone cameras have high resolution cameras.
I like the DSi as a whole, but it wont replace my PSP. I like the dual screen setup and I like the touch enabled bottom screen, but, I wish that the dpad and buttons were a little bigger, and the bottom screen was more apt to recieving my thumb or finger rather than the stylus. I don’t know if I’ll keep it or not, I might give it away to some friends or something, I’ll wait till I get home and try the Wii to DS interface. It’s a good, solid, handheld game system, but maybe. Just maybe, I’m a bit too old for Nintendo.
