Compare the old and new Nintendo… new features are cool

Sunday, March 29th, 2009

Old white Nintendo DS Lite if compared with the new Nintendo DSi. Then what happens. Just read on.
The brand new Nintendo DSi one has some cool new features. Yes, the camera and SD card slot is not there.

But it pinches to force yourself to purchase all new hardware to enjoy the new games. Now, hope so, it seems that Nintendo could be working on games that play on both the Nintendo DS and the DSi. These “DSi Enhanced” game cards of Nintendo will be playing normally on a regular DS or DS Lite of Nintendo. The additional features of these games are inserted into a DSi.

Nintendo DSi Hardware Group project leader Masato Kuwahara told to the media recently that gamers of Nintendo may be able to “create textures from photographs taken with the DSi camera. If gamers play the same game on the DS, they won’t be able to do that, but still be able to play the game.

Take for example this… gamers can now find a “DSi Enhanced” version of Animal Crossing: Wild World where gamers can take a picture of a pattern and of course it can be translated as new clothing for the characters or new wallpaper for the virtual home.

Yes, going forward… gamers may also now be able to partake in face-mapping for custom characters. This feature adds to the game experience but is not a required element.
