Many of you have heard of the DSi, and many of the features Nintendo has included. But what else do you think Nintendo should add?

I think the backlight should be optional, so you don't get attacked by glare whenever you play it outside.

A better camera. 0.3 mega pixels is just ridicules. Also, flash for it's internet browser.

Better sound. I really don't care about the 3D graphics, however, some moments, like the start of the second case of Phoenix Wright, are just like ear rape. One of the games that have spectacular sound is RE: Deadly Silence. I really wish all DS games had sound quality like that or better.

The camera is just fucking horrible.

They need to improve on that, ALOT.

It needs a better camera, the latest Flash player (updatable), more memory for web browsing, a GBA shot capable of playing old Gameboy games, for those of us who still own old games like Tetris, better sound quality, a stylus that's attached to the thing with a special wire, so you don't lose the damn thing, and better battery life.

The DSi is actually a downgrade in my eyes.

No GBA slot? No thank you.

That's more of an upgrade. The Gameboy line is dead, so it's best they do it this way.

It needs a photon cannon on the side, you could put it in the GBA slot.

Maybe keep the GBA slot...

Or better yet make a slot that plays all gameboy games, from regular GB to GBA!

So getting rid of slot that plays games from a handheld released in 2001 is a downgrade?

The DS Lite is the perfect DS, there's nothing wrong with it.

DSi is just another stupid attempt to milk the cash cow.

Oh, really? Because I reckon they took out the GBA slot.

Oh, hell yes, I've lost too many of those things to count.

The backlight is optional

Only for the original DS, which almost nobody plays anymore.

Yes, in the same way that if consoles stopped offering SCART converters it would be a downgrade.

People like having things all in one place, an order to things if you will, so now having to have a GBA and a DS is unrealistic. I myself won't buy it, but I would have done if there was a GBA slot.

The DS Lite was perfect DS wise.

It had a buy able internet browser, it had Backwards combatabilty and didn't need a gimmicky camera or lower battery life.

I was actually invited to go preview the DSI tomorrow at my local Game Stop thanks to being a Club Nintendo platinum member.

I'll tell you guys my impressions of it when I'm done.

0.3 megapixel is good for the DS considering 0.3 megapixels is 640x480 and the DS screen is half that.

The perfect DS was the original one, it was heavy enough for me to klonk people in the head with it, but sturdy enough to stay intact for multiple klonking action.

But it could use sturdier shoulder buttons, after some years they kinda get non-responsive on you.
