Nintendo has just announced a new DSi, debuting on November 21 in Japan for 20k yen, or $222 USD. Overall, it's going to be heavier and larger than the first DS, with a battery life that puts it between the DS Lite and original DSi.

Oh, and it comes with a pen stylus thing that looks kind of like a joint. Among other things. More at the source.

[Discussion in the DS Hardware forum]

Japan's favorite manufacturer has just announced the DSi LL, a new and supposedly improved DS. So far we know it is larger than the original DS, boasts an improved battery life over the first DSi, and comes with a 4.2" screen and new pen stylus. I won't even mention what I think that looks like...

A more detailed analysis shows the DSi LL, aside from having a somewhat awkward name, actually weighs 314 grams or over half a pound, making it the heaviest DS. Aside from weight, the LL will also be larger than the original DS in length and width, but slimmer from the side.

      Those are the exact same words that popped into my head when I saw the title.

      Seriously Nintendo, try to focus on the DS' successor instead of trying to preserve it for eternity.
