Nintendo DSi Announced!

As rumored, Nintendo announced a new DS today.  It’s like the old DS, but they’ve replaced the GBA port with an SD port.  (Step 1: shut down Lik-Sang and flashable cartridges.  Step 2: switch to a writeable media.)

More exciting, they’ve added a 0.3 megapixel camera!  I had my industry sources send me an early DSi, and I took a picture of my house with it:

My house.

No stealing my hideaway key!

    Ha, good old Adventure. Actually, when I first read the announcement, I thought it said a “3.0 megapixel camera”, and was thinking - hey, pretty decent. My expectations have thus been slammed back to earth - thanks Matt!

    According to Giant Bomb (http://www.giantbomb.com/news/heres-all-that-new-nintendo-business/320/), we’re both right! The 3 megapixel camera points out, the .3 megapixel camera looks back at you while you play.

    Hahah - that is a sweet house! I knew real estate prices in SF were bad, but I didn’t know they were charging by map tile.
