Just a couple of days after calling the Nikkei report on the big-screen DSi "conjecture," Nintendo has announced the new DSi model via an update on their official Japanese site.
The upcoming DSi, called DSi LL (leally large?), will feature a 4.2-inch screen but will have the same pixel count. It'll come with two touch pens -- a short one and a larger, more pen-like one -- as well as three pre-installed DSiWare games.
The DSi LL will launch on November 21 in Japan for JP¥ 20,000 (US$ 220). Three colors will be available at launch: Dark Brown, Wine Red, and Natural White.
A Stateside release has yet to be announced, but it seems inevitable. The DSi LL will also launch in Europe albeit at a later Q1 2010 date.

So, is this for people who can't see very well or what?

Leally Large makes sense, since the Japanese pronunciation of "R" is essentially "L" :).

But $220 for the same thing, but larger? Boy, if this thing flies off the shelf, then we really have an issue on our hands (when was the last time a portable device that is LARGER at a HIGHER price point sold better than its predecessors?! NEVER! At least from what I can recall)--and we'll also know Nintendo's agenda once and for all: Make consoles, but not for gamers! For the mom's and dad's and grandma's and grandpa's with extra cash lying around :lol:!

Why nintendo, why?!?

Stupidest move ever. It'll sell, but it's not something i'd buy, DSL all the way.

A more logical guess would be that this is to stop piracy, it's pretty rampant on the DS/DSi right now. :gta:
