Nintendo DS DSi

Hand-held console pioneers Nintendo are staying ahead of the curve with the new Nintendo DSi, the latest incarnation of the world's best-selling portable video game system.

The touch screen technology, WiFi connectivity and voice recognition capabilities of the Nintendo DS and DS Lite remain, with exciting new additions to further improve the experience.

The casing is now slimmer (12% small than NSDL) but the screens are actually bigger (17%). Built-in internet also lets you browse on the move.

Two cameras, downloadable Nintendo DSiWare and the option of playing your favourite music via SD cards now make it easier to apply your own personal touch to the DSi, no matter where you are.

You can use it to boost your brain power through the popular Dr Kawashima's Brain Training titles or enjoy immersive gaming with the likes of Professor Layton, Mario Kart and Peppa Pig.

The two cameras - one points towards the user, the other outwards - come with ten lens effects, including distortion, colour and mirror.

Key features:

• Games can be 'hot-swapped' without switching off
• Stylus now fatter and longer
• SD card slot for music and photos
• Colour: White

Experience your favourite Nintendo DS games like never before on the big screens of the Nintendo DSi XL.

Its impressive 4.2-inch screens are 93% bigger than the Nintendo DS Lite. With a prolonged battery life compared to the DSi, your gaming experience will take a huge leap forward with the XL.

Experience the legendary side-scrolling world of New Super Mario Bros up close and in stunning detail, or take on the twists and turns of the Mario Kart circuit with a crystal clear view of the road ahead!

The larger pen-like stylus also makes extended stylus gameplay more comfortable to allow better control; making directing Link around the dungeons of The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks, for example, far easier and more natural to play.

Along with touch screen technology and WiFi connectivity, the Nintendo DSi XL also features two cameras - one points towards the user, the other outwards - and the option of playing your favourite music via SD card.

Comes pre-loaded with some top software, including a short demo of Dr Kawashima's Little Bit of Brain Training: Arts Edition (not the full game).

The Nintendo DSi XL is also available in new colours Green (PV027), Yellow (PZ005) and Blue (PI953).

• Download games through the Nintendo DSi Shop
