This sucks the big fat one! NO GBA SLot means that the DSi renders Guitar Hero WT useless! They better get us WPA2 at LEAST!

Everytime I hear DSi, I instantly think CSI. So now I have in my head DSi: New York where everyone solves cases using their DS.

I know, but I can always hope. If it plays homebrew I will definitely get it. If not, it’s much hazier.

I think the chances of that are remarkably slim.

Any idea if it’ll play homebrew?

There are still some gems Blerk. The Metroids and the Metroidvanias, the Final Fantasy remakes, FF Tic-Tacs , Warioware, F-Zero (Why isn’t there an F-Zero DS?). Just a shame the later titles were all shovel-ware.

Plus there’s the opportunity to sell you all those SNES titles again and with the bigger screen (if they have more pixels) they’ll actually fit. Zelda LttP, GBA or SNES version, oh the decisions!

You take that back!

Drill Dozer and Ninja 5-0 are brilliant.

Lucky that GBA games are pretty much all a load of old bollocks then, isn’t it?

No GBA slot is telling.

Expect Nintendo to push GBA games on their DS Download Store from day one. Expect them to start with remakes of older franchises that got remade on the GBA. Possibly remakes or remade remakes that were remade before!

Now you can buy games you already own. Again!

“What would you ever need TWO cameras for?”

Depth perception? Other than that I have no idea.

What are you mumbling about Gekidami? Does this somehow get into your home and snap your DS into pieces?

But hey, won’t those games look horribly pixelated when stretched over those screens.

It looks cool and all, but hmm.. how about DSi games?
