I'm curious how many people are interested in buying the new game console for DS when its realeased in (March for UK) and (No release date for US yet) I'm personally going to get it when its released, I love the idea of that larger screen.I don't know what color I'll get yet, wine red, white, brown or black.

Funny you should ask that question, as I spent the last few days searching to see when it will be released. To answer your question ME! ME! ME!I cant wait for the US release. I also like the idea of a bigger screen. I got the DSi last year.Not sure which color yet. I'm also trying to guess the price(I'm guessing about 200).

Hi thracia, I think I remember reading that it will be around the $200 also.
There are a lot of videos on youtube on the Dsi LL and XL that have intrigued me and I don't see a downside to buying one, even though the size is much larger than my DSi.

Hi Marie,I mostly play with my DSi at appointments or while in the car, so I don't think the larger size will bother me. As I am soon to hit the half century mark, my eyes will appreciate the larger viewing area.I saw some of those videos on you-tube.Very cool.I also have about 20 unplayed games to catch up on( that does not include the 20 or so PC games, and the 20 or so cacual games, or the games I am playing on PS3,Wii or Xbox). I think I have a problem! thracia

I'm having a great time with my NintendoDS Lite so I'm in no hurry to upgrade. Will the same games play on the new DS? What is the difference between LL and XL? I am curious about it though.
To love is to be happy with!

Sierramindy, I think is being called LL in Japan, but will be called XL here in the US. They are both the same console.
Marie, I told you I have a problem. I'm just like a big kid...with a job.

gatsbygirl, Yes all your DS games should play on the new XL. No Gameboy slot though I understand. If you see a release date for the US please let us know, thanks. The only thing I could wish for is that they had a pink version, I'm just over the color PINK. thracia, Yes your correct LL for Japan and XL for the US. I know what your saying about being a big kid, my own son said just this Christmas that I know what games are coming out even before his three kids do

Ah so, thanks loads for answering my question, thracia. It could have meant "large" and "extra large" for all I knew.

Marie ,I think I have more games than my 17yo son.Sometimes we even fight over who gets to play first.I also like the color pink, but the color options seem to be limited at this point.They usually come out with the color I want, after I buy it.
Thanks Ramona, that's how I feel sometimes.

That would be great ramona if Gamestop gave out the credit for the new XL, but for me personally, I probably wouldn't do it since I've customized mine with a Pink Heart skin and also covered it with a Pink Nerf Robo Armor.I did the pink stuff because when I bought mine the color pink wasn't out yet.
thracia, That's exactly what happened with me, I thnk there was only black and white at the time.
katbear, I saw a video that showed another game bundled with the new XL, I believe it was some kind of brain trainer. There where someother applications also but the narrator didn't explain those.

ramona, The skin for the DSi isn't too expensive about $10.00 if you want to get it. Glad to hear that you like the thread. I just checked on www.nintendolife.com and the preloaded applications on the DSi XL with be Dr. Kawashima's Brain Training: Arts Edition and Dictonary 6 in 1 with a camera feature. You can take a picture of a word say in a foreign language and it will translate it for you. Also included is the DSi browser.

from kotaku.com dated Jan 14, 2010
The new Nintendo DSi XL - already out in Japan, where it's known as the DSi LL - will be released in Europe in March, Nintendo has announced.
It will be available on March 5, on both the continent and in the UK, in red and dark brown.
The Nintendo DSi XL is essentially a Nintendo DSi, only with much larger screens and a bigger, more comfortable stylus. It was released in Japan in NOvember 2009, and will be out in the US sometime this quarter.

Great article Rice burner, I'm so excited about the US release date of March 29 and the price isnt bad either. I also like that fact that it has a book reader, I have a small wallet size one now so that will be a big improvement for me. I never went in for the cluncky Kindle one much too large for my purse. Here is the Amazon site for the Burgunday [url=onehttp://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-DSi-XL-Burgundy-DS/dp/B002I08UWU/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1267060862&sr=8-2][url=onehttp://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-DSi-XL-Burgundy-DS/dp/B002I08UWU/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1267060862&sr=8-2][url=onehttp://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-DSi-XL-Burgundy-DS/dp/B002I08UWU/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1267060862&sr=8-2]onehttp://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-DSi-XL-Burgundy-DS/dp/B002I08UWU/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1267060862&sr=8-2[/url][/url][/url] Oh Yes, Rice Burner, I'm so lovin it.

That's great to hear, Sly One. Sounds much better than the ad on their main website. For only $30 Credit I would just as soon keep my original one as a spare.

Whimsical, have you heard what is going to be different about the DS2? This is why I sometimes hate the electronics industry. You just can't keep up. I think I will still get the XL, cause I really like the idea of the larger size. I don't think I'll trade in my old DS,or DSi, I would rather keep them as backups.

Whimsical, I would seem unusual that Nintendo having just introduced the new DSi XL to come up with DS2 next generation(with rel. at Christmas) at the same time. I'm fairly sceptical of this information and would ck several sources before I bought into this. Although there is a next generation DS in the works I don't really think will see it that soon.

I also reserved my DS xl ,but at Best Buy. I have a $40 gift card, and $100 in reward certificates(yes, I spend alot of money there), so I figure it will only cost me about $50. I can't wait for it to come out.

Drug myself in the back door a few minutes ago after spending the day w/our daughter and our 21 mo old grand triplets. Hubby said I had a message on the answering machine... Can't you just tell me? don't think I can walk that far Well, I did, and it was the cheeriest message from my local Gamestop telling me my preordered DSi XL would be ready for me to pick up in the morning!

Draclvr,It's a handheld portable nintendo gaming system.
Katbear, maybe we should post this in that other thread where we were all talking about getting it. I am getting mine tomorrow too. I will see if I can bump up the other thread.It was in casual games.

Will be picking mine up as soon as Gamestop opens. I also got the call yesterday. Got mine this morning. The screen is a nice size. Will make gaming much easier.

I picked mine up earlier today and it is charging. The screen seems so much bigger than my old one (DS Lite). Can't wait to try it out and see what the games look like on it!

Got mine as well yesterday. Took a little while to set up the internet, but finally figured it out. Played Brain Age and it said I have the brain of a 71 yo! Although the 70 yo's aroud here are pretty sharp, I'm only 50.I am ejoying the bigger screen very much as well.

Gatsbygirl, it wasn't to hard to set up, once I figured what to do. I had to go to advanced setup on the XL, then press and hold some button on the top of my router, while the two communicated. That was it! Now I don't feel so bad about havig an old brain. Probably got it from playing too many games thracia

Okay, now that they have finally released a gaming system for us with slightly older eyes, how about releasing games in a genre` more to our taste? Over 50 gamers are quickly becoming a large part of their buying audience, aren't we?

jody319,katbear50, what kind of games are you interested in? There are adventue games, puzzle games, HO games, etc.(I saw Dream Chronicles, for example at Best Buy for 19.99).You could go to the Gamestop website and look up the games under the different genre's,(there are lots of games of all kinds). Also the downloaded games are through Nintendo, and you have to spend points for them.

thracia, I would like non-action adventure games, and some IHOGs. I found the items in Millionheir too hard to see on the DS lite. And some fun games like So Blonde, or Ceville. Right now I'm enjoying "Zenses: Rainforest", and am looking for a Mahjong where you don't have to rescue anyone. Trying to get into the 2 Ace Attorney ones I just bought, have begun Phoenix Wright, and have Apollo Justice too. They seemed to have been highly touted, but I find them to be a wee bit on the corny, overdramatic side so far. Appear to be Japanese, and much of their media would seem to be that way. IMHO

katbear50, you could try these games: Hotel Dusk,Nancy Drew: Hidden Staircase,Clue Benders Society, and Model Mysteries. CSI Dark Motives,Trace Memory,Unsolved Crimes, Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars,Hardy Boys:Teasures on the Tracks,Professor Layton:Curious Village,and The Diabolical Box,Sherlock Holmes:Mustery of the Mummy,JamesPatterson WMC: Crimes of passion, Amazing Adventures,Dream Day Wedding:Dsstinations,Agatha Christie:ABC Murders, Mysteyr PI, just to name a few.
Some are hidden objects, some are puzzle games, some are adventure games. I have not tried all of these, they are on my list of games to play eventually. I find that Nintendo DS has the widest variety of games for all gamers.

thracia,Re : Chronicles of Mystery: Curse of the AncientsWas just researching this DS game, and as with a number of them this is what I've found: This puzzler is a modified version of PC point ’n’ clicker Chronicles of Mystery: The Scorpio Ritual. This is confusing
