DSi GET!
By ImperiousRix 7 Comments
So, after resisting the charms of Nintendo's DS Lite (mainly because of my possession of a superbly working original fat and my outrage that Nintendo was "Pulling this shit again"), I resolved to get the DSi if only because I felt like it'd been long enough that I'd possessed the system in order for me to justify a "trade-up". This resolution was made some months ago when the system was first released and only NOW do I find myself an owner of the shiny new hand-held. Although my DS playing stands to remain on hiatus for a little while as my PSP is about to gain my top-spot of handheld useage for a little while (what with Dissidia coming out next week), I'm very excited to start putting the DSi through its paces. Am already thrilled about:
1. The size. Having the original and extremely un-wieldy original DS for so long makes this thing feel like a goddamn cell phone. Still feels hearty and rugged, though, which is a good thing, and I appreciate the matte-like finish on it as the finger smudges constantly left on my PSP when I play pisses me off to no end.
2. The camera. As one who enjoys photography (even if I'm not particularly good at it), I'm glad to have another (and extremely fun) option for photo-taking besides my cell phone (weird how I've mentioned a phone twice now. Hm...). Not to mention, a flood of nostalgia from my old Gameboy Camera days hit me as I was messing with all the various filters and activities present on the DSi camera.
3. It's BLUUUUUUE. Ahem, sorry. It's just after having the DS with it's dull silver finish and not wanting the somewhat cliche'd black constituting the other option, I went with that insane electric blue. I dunno what it is about it, but it makes me smile every time I look at it.
So, another self-indulgent blog, but whatever. Hope to be enjoying the DSi soon. Maybe I'll buy Chinatown Wars after Dissidia's had it's run, although by that time I figure Kingdom Hearts 358/2 days (how the fuck do you say that?!) will have arrived and I can play some of that. *shrugs*
