Have you guys heard about this yet. It was just announced: [link] . Nintendo's announced their latest handheld, the Nintendo DSi XL. Apparently, it's pretty much the DSi that we know about now, but it's got a 4 inch screen. But that's not all. Not only the screen's bigger, but the entire DS is bigger, now including a Pen stylus and a few Brain Age games pre-installed.

In my opinion, this is has got to be the stupidest thing I've ever heard. It's coming out in November in Japan and the first quarter of 2010 in both US and Europe for a larger price than it is now. Nintendo's really about to release a larger DSi, going in the opposite direction you'd expect, and releasing it one year after the latest model was already released. If they were going to do this, at least either wait a few years after the original came out or just release the DSi XL as the original DSi in the first place, pretty much getting rid of the XL in the title. I'd also mention how dumb it is to make an even bigger version of it, even if it has a few extra features.

My final verdict: the DSi XL is coming in at one of the worst times, at less than one year after the DSi came out. I can see how the larger screen can help people with bad eye sight play the games, but the larger size makes it harder to carry around, not to mention for those who just bought a DSi having to buy another again if they want the newest thing. It even has a bigger price, meaning you're buying the same thing for more money. It makes no sense. I'd wait a long time before spending money on one of those, unless they include a GBA port. That's all I've got to say.

CTOON out!
