hey guys so today I'm here with my full review of the Nintendo DSi um so guys a lot of people question should I buy a DSi right now obviously the DSi XL just came out a few months ago and of course the 3ds or whatever they're going to call it will be coming out probably about for the end of the year but guys I still think there is a decent market for DSi so I'll go ahead and give you guys a full review of it and let you know what I think so the first thing is going to be the build quality and the size and all that so guys it is a pretty decent sized thing if you ever had a DS Lite it is almost the exact same size I believe it's just very slightly longer and a bit thinner but let me go ahead and give you guys a walk through the device so on the front there zoom in just a little bit here so on the front you have your three power buttons um is for Wi-Fi for charging and then your battery indicator you have your camera your point three megapixel I'll cover the cameras in a minute and there's a little light which lights up when this camera is active on the back of the device you see that there's nothing there's no Gameboy Advance cartridge which may or may not be a big deal and then you have your headphone and slash microphone on this side you have your SD card and you also have your stylus so you go ahead and just put your stylus right in there no big deal then you go ahead and you can put in an SD card just like so you flip it over on the back you'll find the l and r buttons I'm guys I like these buttons actually they're pretty clicky as you can see they do protrude just a little bit that's not a big deal and go ahead and charge it and then go ahead and put your games in and then you also have a place for lanyards or something like that and coming over here is nothing except just a volume um guys I should do like this volume it is like a rocker on a cell phone um it works pretty good ok guys so now go ahead and give you guys a brief tour of this software so in case you didn't know the DSi is a lot different than the standard DS Lite it's got a new menu system so you can see guys here we can go ahead and scroll through like this orange really simply to go ahead and just scroll like this and just take the stylus there's a lot of different options and it works pretty well on the top screen you go ahead and take care pictures and you can go ahead and have them display sort of like a wallpaper it's pretty good and then at any point while you're on the screen you hit the left or right triggers and it will go ahead and jump into the camera application so if you want to jump into your DSi and take a picture it works I'm guys so there are a few different things in the DS there is but the two main things I'm going to be covering today are the camera and the Photos app the guys the camera works pretty well you can go ahead and take pictures with either the inside or outside camera um they're pretty low resolution as you guys can see right here I mean they're okay if there's no other camera around you know if this is what you got in your pocket you can't a snap a couple decent pictures but in general it's not that great of a camera you can of course do ahead and do some editing some kind of cool editing effects you can pull and zoom and all kinds of stuff with pictures rafidhi on them there's a lot of kind of neat stuff it's mostly a novelty now the second thing is going to be the sound app now guys the sound is well it's you know it's nothing amazing basically you go ahead and record a clip and then you can wet and have you know somebody you say something and then it can you speed it up slow down raise the pitch two different things like that again it's a novelty but it's kind of something fun to mess with now guys the DSi also does have the DSi where shop as well as the DSi browser I won't get really get too in-depth into any of these the DSi where is very similar to if you've used the Wii where shop on the Wii go ahead and pick up a few titles to be honest guys there's not a whole lot there there's a few things and you can go ahead and buy it depending on how many points it is it's pretty decent it also has a browser the browser is okay but I really don't like it just because it is very very slow and to be honest if you're not on site with a mobile if you don't have a website that has a mobile browser then forget it I mean the DSi is very very very when you're loading you can use the touchscreen to pan and zoom which is kinda nice but the speed totally makes useless in my opinion however guys there are a couple things I think I should mention one thing is that Wi-Fi is kind of a little bit odd it does not support high encryption networks or at least it doesn't fully support them now guys you can go ahead with the latest 1.4 update you can go ahead and do like web browsing over you know like normal encrypted networks but a lot of games don't support multiplayer over highly encrypted networks so guys that's a little bit of us hitting this if you don't have your Wi-Fi encrypted which I hope you do but if you don't you'll be okay that's definitely an annoying thing another thing guys is battery life battery life is not great on this it's not as good as the DS Lite which was excellent um you can go ahead and probably get seven to eight hours of play you know on maybe like medium brightness and you know with Wi-Fi off you know you crank up Wi-Fi you know you turn up the screen brightness it'll not probably little bit of off fat I found it to be decent just not fantastic now guys while we're still talking about the hardware and how the system works I'm going to tell you guys for you I am NOT a hundred percent really happy with the build quality if you guys look along this top line all along here you see that it's there's a lot more of a gaps just activation tonight there's a lot more of a gap on the left side and the that on the right side this holds true oh my god that holds true if you guys can tell right there as it goes it's ok it's ok all sudden there's a little bit of a gap now guys to be honest this does not affect gameplay and I don't really think I mean the DES does feel pretty sturdy go ahead and yell twist it and you know you know keeping your pocket stop so I wouldn't really really worry about that but just little things like that just kind of Nohr me a bit now guys the graphics on the DSi are basically identical to the standard DS if you've ever played in ideas or des light the games are not going to look any different the screen is this both screens are slightly bigger on the DSi and it is true that the DSi has four times the RAM and a much faster processor that that is not really translating to normal games that said though guys the DSi is pretty decent so let me go ahead and show you guys just a little bit here as you can see here there's a pretty decent effects the is pokemon soul silver go ahead and show you guys just a little short bit of gameplay now this is a really fun game by the way so we can go ahead and say that the 3d effects are pretty decent so we can go ahead and go out here and I mean there are some definitely some pretty cool games see this is this is a pretty good thing and of course the guys the DS is capable of much better graphics in this for example you know there's a Call of Duty I mean get called the I believe there's a couple different Call of Duty's on here so I mean it is full capable full 3d but I think why the main part is is that it really does work well for the RPGs okay guys so it's time for the wrap-up um to be honest guys I don't really recommend the DSi I mean it's there's a lot of really good things it's nice to have cameras although they are pretty low quality and you know there are a few nice things such as you know being able to browse the Internet slightly not really that well you know download stuff in the DSi where shop but Jimmy asked guys it's not if you've never had a DS before this might be a decent choice especially if you have an earlier DS there's really no reason to upgrade especially guys because the main reason is that the 3ds is coming now of course there is the DSi XL of course which is hundreds and entacle basically the only major difference is that it's just bigger this doesn't have any new features you know obviously the case is a little bit different but as the main reason that I don't recommend the DSi is because the 3ds is coming on the 3ds should have three D it it is confirmed that will be a hundred cent backwards combat compatible with all your normal DS games so guys that alone I mean that'd be like buying an Xbox right before the Xbox 360 came out I mean sure the Xbox might have been nice but the Xbox 360 should play most of the games you know and in this case the 3ds will definitely play all of your DS games so guys the the DSi maybe if you got it for cheap or you know you maybe just want to collect it like I do then that might be a pretty good deal but until then I highly recommend guys go ahead and wait but then the next week or two the 3ds should be announced and it's going to look like it's going to be a pretty solid upgrade
