This is how the ds should have been made in the first place nintendo is slowly but surely catching up with the other contenders in terms of system designs. Sony is going in the same direction with their new PSP 3000 unfortunately it isn’t nowhere near as good as what the DSI is offering.

Some bad news for people in the USA this new DS will not be available until spring of next year, nintendo feels that this new design is nothing for them to rush out being that the NDS is still selling like hot cakes. But hey thanks to certain gaming stores online we can import this little work of art!
