Whoa, it's true: the rumor of a bigger screen DSi was just validated by Nintendo. Shipping November 21st in Japan, the 4.2-inch DSi LL is priced at ¥20,000 (about $221). The above comparison is straight from the Big N showing the DSi LL vs. the white DSi. Besides the obvious increase in height and width, the 21.2-mm handheld is chubbier than the 18.9-mm DSi but slimmer than the 21.5-mm DS Lite when it ships in your choice of dark brown, burgundy and natural white. The battery seems to be roughly on par with the DS Lite going for about 4 to 5 hours on maximum brightness and intensity or 13 to 17 hours when dialing back the display to its lowest settings. No word on US or international shipping yet but obviously they'd be smart to get this out in time for the holidays. A few more pics and a full spec-by-spec comparison with the DSi and DS Lite after the break.

Don't you think all the re-iterations of Nintendo's handhelds are getting a little out of hand(no pun intended).

BS we both know you intended it

But hey the same goes for Sony...

None of this means i wouldn't LOVE to play around with one for a week or so...a long with a new supported flash cart

meh on sony. AFAIK none of their revisions were marketed as "new". They were technical tweaks. The PSPgo.. is... oh nvm that.

I own a DS lite, not too happy w/ it. But it's the only handheld I own or have ever owned.

The bigger screen and what looks like a larger, more original DS size would fit mine, and many others' hands much better than the DSlite or DSi I'd imagine.

There's no point in arguing it really, people will always eat up Nintendo's products like *insert popular consumable here*

there were like 20 gameboy versions >_>

Oh there marketing this thing as new?

I didn't actually think of the difference...nintendo loves selling those little revisions

I own a PSP Slim and a DS Lite as well and i haven't enjoyed either to well then again i do need to give the DS a better chance...i would love to see this new model though...

Who knows...i could be sold by some nice big screens...

(not trolling, i own a DS & DSL)

With Wii sales plummeting, Nintendo needs something new to stay fresh.
