Related Topics – Rumor, Nintendo DSi

Multiple sources "close to Nintendo" have reportedly told IGN that the Nintendo DSi will launch in North America sometime in early April--with April 4 indicated as the most likely date.

According to the sources, the DSi will carry a suggested retail price of $179.99.

The Nintendo DSi will improve over Nintendo's original handheld with the addition of two cameras, internal memory, an SD card slot for memory expansion, and support for the new DSi Shop, which offers downloadable games and demos.

Over 500,000 DSi units were sold in the month following the system's November 1 Japanese release.

I'll be watching anything that Vicarious Visions puts out in the next few weeks. Since the DSi "breaks" their Guitar Hero ports (no GBA slot) I wonder if they have a DSi solution and if so, if they will talk about it, confirming the unit's upcoming release.

Let me know when the DS phone comes out. That'll probably be what pushes me over the edge.

If I can get some kind of emulation / rom support, I'll get one.

That or if all NDS games can be downloaded on the SD card.

I'm not going back to carrying carts around.
