It's huuuuge: Nintendo DSi LL (red) versus Nintendo DSi (white)
Well,
that didn't take long. Just two days after Japan's
Nikkei newspaper
reported that Nintendo was planning a new variant of the DSi sporting larger 4\" screens (which it
called \"speculation\"), the Big N has gone and announced it -- for Japan, at least. Called the Nintendo DSi LL, the hefty handheld will be released in Japan on November 21 for a price of ¥20,000 ($221).
The device has so far been shown only in a burnt red finish and features a full pen-sized stylus. The whole kit's
big -- just look at the above comparison image from Nintendo's
site -- and really does appear well-suited for an older audience. We'll have more on the DSi LL soon.
