It was recently announced that the Nintendo DSi will be releasing this spring for the United States and United Kingdom. The U.S. will get their hands on the new DSi on April 5th and the U.K. on April 3rd. The DSi was released in Japan back in November 2008.
A new DS, named DSi, was announced during this year’s Nintendo fall press conference. The new version decreases in thickness, and gains a few enhancements.
Although they reduced the thickness, the screen gained an enlargement, increasing to 3.25in (wow that sounds like a penis enlargement ad). The increase equates to a 17% bump from the DS Lite. The sound output has also been “improved”, there are no details though.
Also included in DSi is a built in camera, capable of producing a 680×480 resolution file size. There is an SD memory card slot to store pictures, and to view your pictures on the DSi itself.
What They Play has heard from multiple sources that a new generation Wii console is in the works, and is expected to be released sometime in 2011. The new Wii, dubbed “Wii HD”, is going to be a complete rework of the Wii hardware, while keeping the same general idea to the console.
The update is compared to “the shift from Game Boy to Game Boy Advance.” The hardware updates are rumored to include features such as high definition visuals, backwards compatibility, and either an internal hard drive or high capacity flash memory.
20-year-old gamer Matthew Pyke, and avid Advance Wars fan, was found dead in his Nottingham apartment last Friday. Pyke and his girlfriend, Joanna Witton, were both fans of the Nintendo game, and ran a strategy-based website.
Witton found Pyke’s lifeless body stabbed in their home. There were no signs of forced entry, but days after his body was found, a German gamer calling himself David Heiss sent a message to Mr Pyke’s girlfriend apologising for “having caused so much trouble lately”.
