Nintendo DSi to be launch on April 5

Nintendo pioneered hand-held entertainment in the '80s and made it
fully mobile with the Game Boy video game system. Now, Nintendo is
transforming the way people access, experience, create and share
content with the new Nintendo DSi™ system, the third iteration of the
world's best-selling portable video game system. Nintendo DSi launches
in the United States on April 5, 2009, at an MSRP of $169.99. The
colors available at launch will be Blue and Black.

"Ever since the arrival of the first Game Boy, consumers worldwide
have turned to Nintendo for their portable gaming," said Cammie
Dunaway, Nintendo of America's executive vice president of Sales &
Marketing. "Nintendo DSi builds on Nintendo's commitment to bringing
fun and creative entertainment to everyone, and will allow consumers
to personalize and share their very own experiences."

Some features that will be built into the system and ready to enjoy
upon purchase include the Nintendo DSi Camera, Nintendo DSi Sound and
Nintendo DSi Shop. The most noticeable feature of the slim Nintendo
DSi system is its two cameras – one camera is on the external body,
and the second one points at the user when the device is flipped open.
As the first truly interactive digital camera in a video game system
with 10 different interactive "lenses" that can manipulate your
photos, the Nintendo DSi Camera offers an easy way to take and share
your photos with family and friends. The cameras also present people
with unprecedented ways to interact with their games while giving
developers a new tool to devise creative games and experiences. If the
touch screen gave Nintendo DS a sense of feel and the microphone
allowed it to hear, the two cameras give Nintendo DSi the sense of
sight.
