Nintendo of Europe are airing the following advert for their new DS which arrives on European shores on March the 5th.
Today I got the chance to spend some ample time with an XL, and a copy of Mario Kart. I came away from my experience thinking Nintendo are going to do it yet again - make a shit loads of money.
I was instantly taken back by the XL's width, I held for the first time thinking - fuck, this thing is large, the thing is though, it didn't feel clumsy at all, on the contrary in fact, it actually feels very svelte, and way too sexy for oldies imo. The quality of the two larger screens is very impressive, it's a lot better than I expected it would be, and to think it even has better battery power than any other version. The D-Pad and buttons feel like those on the DSI, but due to the extra space they feel more luxurious.
I won't be getting one after having bought a DSi at launch, but after knowing how awesome Mario Kart can look on the machine, and I Imagine many others, I'm very tempted to get one.
