Nintendo are positioned to release yet another addition to the ever growing DS family ; the Nintendo DSi XL. The general concensus has been this addition is surplus to needs, but Nintendo were quick to assure fans this console is not meant to replace the existing DSi, only to act as a different selection.

As the name suggests, the Nintendo DSi XL is abigger edition of the DSi. The shell has been swapped for a thick mould and the displays have been lengthened by about a full in. to 4.2 inches. These larger displays are a welcome inclusion and bring the Nintendo DSi XL closer to the screen dominance of the PSP. Games appear larger and clearer than previously and, a little pixelation aside, appear much better for it.

Togetherwith the screen, the Nintendo DSi XL has built upon the speakers packed into the bigger shell. One of the minor grouses with the DSi is the sound was lacking in some titles, so new speakers should sort out the problem. The Nintendo DSi XL also returns to the swish gloss finish of the first DS.

TheNintendo DSi XL is an alternative choice for people that prefer their gaming a little larger. Various game-players requested the DSi to be made smaller, sharper and lighter to make the portability less complicated. On this note, the DSi remains the smarter choice. The DSi XL is perhaps asmarter choice for those who play the DSi indoors or when stationary instead of on the move.

Therefore it really is a question of preference. The Nintendo DSi XL offers a bigger, chunkier gaming experience but reduces the simplicity of travel related to earlier incarnations. If this sounds like your kind of thing, then give it a go. If not - don’t panic! The current DSi will be around for a long while yet!
