The new Nintendo DSi portable video game system system is available now for of $169.99 in sky-blue and black colors, and as Nintendo America's President/COO Reggie Fils-Aime points out in the video below, the device offers a few new tricks including Nintendo DSi Camera, Nintendo DSi Sound and Nintendo DSi Shop features.
The device has two cameras, one on the external body, and one that points at the user when the device is flipped open, and it features 10 different interactive “lenses” that can manipulate your photos. The Nintendo DSi Sound application is both a voice recorder and music player, and users can tweak music while they listen to it with various audio filters and pitch controls. There's also a mic located between the two screens when the device is flipped open, and a stereo headphone output, and SD card slot.
In the world of software, Nintendo DSi will be the platform for the most relevant and fun on-the-go games and applications. The Nintendo DSiWare application will populate Nintendo DSi with software that can be downloaded using Nintendo DSi Points directly to the portable system, just as WiiWare has with Nintendo’s Wii console. Developers big and small are invited to create software that makes use of the properties and functions of the hardware. Nintendo DSiWare games and applications will be available at a range of values, starting at 200 points.
In addition to downloadable games, Nintendo DSi is able to play games made specifically for the system and sold at retail. The system can also play most Nintendo DS™ games, and will have access to a library of more than 850 titles originally made for that system.
Also on April 5, a new Nintendo DS game, Rhythm Heaven, will join this roster of games available for both Nintendo DSi and Nintendo DS owners in the United States. Having sold more than 1.6 million copies since its July 2008 launch in Japan and still increasing sales today, this infectious game challenges players to tap and slide the stylus on the touch screen in time to original music created by legendary Japanese pop-star producer TSUNKU♂. Simple gestures with the stylus combined with fun music and quirky visuals make Rhythm Heaven a completely unique musical experience for players of all ages.
