So, the rumours were true after all, despite Nintendo’s reluctance to add any credence…
At a press event in Tokyo, Nintendo recently announced the existence of a new DSi, the DSi LL, which features a bigger screen (measuring in at 4.2 inches), priced at ¥20,000 ($220) and slapped with a release date of November 21st in Japan.
Nintendo has apparently been bombarded with requests by previous DS and DSi customers for a larger screen, to which the Japanese games giant has responded with a screen size that is roughly 93 percent larger than that of the DS Lite.
The DSi LL will come standard with two touch pens (one short and one long) and three pre-installed DSiWare games comprising two brain training games concerning humanities and sciences, and DS Easy Dictionary.
The new handheld will be available in three different colours, namely Dark Brown, Wine Red and Natural White.
According to VG247, Nintendo of Europe has confirmed that the DSi LL, known as the DSi XL in Europe, will become available in the first quarter next year in that region, with a retail price that is expected to be higher than that of the current DSi.
