Nintendo Japan’s just confirmed that a big-screen version of DSi will launch next month in Japan and in the first quarter of next year in Europe.
The DSi LL will feature a 4.2 inch screen and is to be sold at ¥20,000 (US$220).
It’s out on November 21 in Japan.
The upgrade is designed to help those that want to use the machine for internet viewing and a music player.
It’ll be bundled with two touch pens: one short and one long, and comes will three DSiWare titles pre-installed: two brain training games and DS Easy Dictionary.
It’ll be available in Dark Brown, Wine Red and Natural White.
Still waiting for a US date.

I’m surprised any one dares buy a DS considering the fact that a better version will probably be out a few months after.

I know right. I keep wanting to get one but when I consider it seriously they drop a new one.

How much bigger is the actual console, though? Is it like an upgrade for people with big hands?
Edit: Ignore me – just seen the rest of the stories!

I agree with #1 and #2. Two hardware refreshes in less than 12 months doesn’t exactly inspire confidence in Nintendo’s commitment to stabilising the platform.

Seems like a good idea to me. Great for the oldies that may have struggled to use the smaller version.
