It doesn't really.

The DSi is out there to appeal to the casual gamers with two camera's and a slightly lighter product.

Fungal, I suggest you try something like this:

So it still uses B wireless instead of G and the amount of RAM is the same? Those were the biggest limitations of the DS lite.

keep in mind that the R4 is not compatible with the DSi

Googled info:

DSi:
- screen 3.25 inches (DS was 3)
- 2 VGA (0.3 MP) cameras
- 256 MB Internal flash memory and SDHC slot up to 32GB
- slightly longer and wider but thinner than the DSlite
- 16MB of RAM (DSlite had 4MB)
- 2 CPU's ARM9 & ARM7. Main CPU clocked at 133MHz
- 5 levels of brightness
- better buttons
- better and louder speakers
- supports DSiWare games

The OS is much better and needing no reboots of the console whenever you do something. A push of the power button will always return you to the home menu. Even from a game. Games can now be hot-swapped from the OS.

the new DSi however IS REGION LOCKED! damn Nintendo!

WHAAAAAT Thats carp I tells ya, damn you sill nofriendo!!!

And GBA gaems are region locked too.

You can transfer pokemons from other regions via wifi, that was kind of the point of it. Not sure on uploading/transferring from the GBA slot, but if you have a DSi, then you dont need to worry, seeing as it does not have a GBA slot.

Do you mena on DSi? I have a bucnh of Jap games that work fine on my DS. I was thinking of getting a DSi when in Japan, but now not so sure. My DS battery is on the way out...

Why 2 cameras?!?!?! That sounds excessive.

Thanks Stompy. Well they do improve RAM which is a big deal for this system but another big thing would be if Wifi G is supported as the original only had Wifi B.

ideally, external camera to take pictures.

the internal camera is for self-portraits and video-calls
