Nintendo DSi Console - A Handheld Game Console stepping ahead of DS Lite

The DSi primarily shares the handheld gaming market with Sony’s PlayStation Portable. A major feature that distinguishes the Nintendo DSi is its two interactive digital cameras that can be both incorporated into gameplay and used as a standalone camera feature. With two 0.3 megapixel cameras built into the console, the Nintendo DSi Console brings an entirely new dimension to gameplay.

The cameras are able to accurately detect facial features and players’ movements, i.e. by moving the upper body, hands, arms and head in front of the camera will allow new games to be played by movement alone, bringing a whole new way of interacting with the handheld. The DSi also includes connectivity with an online store as well as internal and external storage of content. A pink LED light glows when the outer camera is active. The outer casing also abandons the vertical square DS logo modeled in the plastic found on the DS Lite.

The console has two larger TFT-LCD screens at 3.25 inches, instead of the former 3 inches, capable of displaying 260,000 colors. The lower display of the console is overlaid with a touchscreen, designed to accept input from the included stylus attached to the optional wrist strap. Also on the front are the four face buttons, the directional pad, and the Start, Select, and Power buttons. The DSi has five brightness settings compared to the DS Lite which had only four. Battery life is stable, so users can take it anywhere and enjoy themselves with the uninterrupted gameplay.

In simple terms, with many more features, DSi has advanced itself ahead of DS Lite and also provides a satisfied gameplay for the users.
