Talk:Nintendo DS

Are you sure Ds and DS Lite should be on the same page? If we expand, we might get 2 out of them...


 * Probably not they don't have too much difference.

I think there was likea crimson?

How many bits does the DS have? Lewa159 13:34, 23 July 2008 (EDT)

DSi
I think the DSi should have it's own article. It's a completely new console not a layout like the DSLite. It's like the Gameboy, Gameboy Color and Gameboy Advanced, they have separated articles, don't they?
 * The DSi uses the same cards as the regular DS does. It is established not to replace the DS (lite), but to be a version into a different direction. Imagine it like this: The DS lite is for gaming veterans depending on the GBA slot. The DSi is focussing on more casual stuff (camera, web browser). Until we know more than that, we shouldn't create an article. If the DSi turns out to be fundamentally different, we can still change that. - 16:48, 2 October 2008 (EDT)
 * Yes. I think another way to look at is is the difference of the GameBoy Advance and the GameBoy Advance SP. Looks different, different functions, but fundamentally, just an enhaced version. I think we'll have to wait a bit for more information about the DS shop channel and whatnot, though.
 * Well, I'm sure the DSi will have games only for it, so I think it should have an article only for it. On the DSi trailer it showed one game (a soccer game by what I remember) that your face can be on the players. Also, the DSi will have Miis, and there is a game (baseball by what I remember) using that feature. Also, there'll be a "DS Ware", and that is only avaible for the DSi.
 * I'd like to emphasize the "will have games only for it" part of your comment. Until we get confirmation that Mario will be involved, we needn't make an article for it.  So, when the "will have" becomes a "does," we can update it then.  Also, Miis have appeared in Mario media, but they've also appeared in a variety of other titles in the same manner, so they aren't strictly speaking, Mario characters that we will chronicle no matter which series they are in (ie Mario in SSX or Birdo in Captain Rainbow).  20:30, 2 October 2008 (EDT)

I have proof that the DSi can play regular DS games. Clicky here Ambidextria

Beta DS
I found an image of the beta DS should this be added to the article. ->

Discontinued?
Technically, the DS is discontinued. I'm pretty sure it was discontinued after the release of the DS Lite. 01:17, 13 June 2009 (EDT)
