New DSi With Larger Screen Reportedly Releasing in Japan This Year

DSiAnother year, a different new DS model to stuff in someone’s stocking? According to the Japanese Nikkei advice service (via Kotaku), Nintendo plans to announce a new DSi copy with a slightly larger screen, and release it in Japan judgment the end of the year.

According to the details from the Nikkei discharge, this new DSi model will have a 4-inch screen (adding every extra 3/4 of an inch to the current DSi’s 3.25-twelfth part of a foot screen), and will still cost the same 18900 yen that the current DSi runs. Humorously, Nikkei evidently explains the larger defend will be an attempt to market the DSi toward an older demographic, the like way an older person with failing eyesight might, say, buy a watch by bigger numbers on it.

Other than the bigger screen, though, the functionality and horsepower of this just discovered DSi will reportedly remain unchanged.

It seems there’s no specifics attached when Nintendo will formally announce this new model (or a especial release date in Japan), and it’s still under discussion when this new model will be released in other regions. When we perceive more, we’ll pass it along.
