The newest addition to the Nintendo DS family, DSi, has clearer sound quality and a surprisingly sharp image quality when in photo mode. That and the fact that users can have much more fun with software on the DSi may be enough reason for Nintendo to entice consumers to snap up its latest handheld game console.

At ¥18,900 (US$179) it’s a bit more expensive than the ¥16,800 DS Lite but that difference shouldn’t cause too many people to change their purchasing plans.

Also, to make the handheld console thin, Nintendo took away the slot for Game Boy Advance games. No longer can GBA games be played on DS and DS games that use the GBA slot can’t be used on DSi but a new range of DSi-only games are likely to appear so this could make up for the difference.
