My dad got the bronze DSi XL like 2 months ago. And when we first opened up the nintendo DSi XL, not the box, it was huge! The screens were really big! But I don't get why they didn't make the buttons any bigger. Ok, the DSi XL comes with a regular stylus and a bigger stylus. And it comes with 3 pre- installed titles (Brain Age Express: Math, Brain Age Express: Arts & Letters, and Photo Clock). It works with regular DS games, and you can also download cool games from the DSi Shop. There are other applications such as: Flipnote Studio, DSi Sound, Pictochat, DS Download Play, DSi Camera, DSi Shop, and DSi Browser. On the DSi XL there are lights which tells you the amount of batterie you have left. If it's blue, it has a good amount of batterie, if it's red, it means it's running out of batterie, and blinking red means it is about to die(unless you're online). Thats all I have to say.

Nintendo DSi XL
PostedJuly 23, 2010
first of all let's all give a big shout for nintendo. Now let's discuss this handheld console: everything just got bigger.. it's basically a dsi with larger screens and a bigger stylus , considering that i have had the original DS and the DS lite for over 3 years now, i have decided to see what's new.. and so i bought the XL , i am incredibly impressed until now, this console plays music, takes pictures, browses the net etc... there is even a dsi shop where you can download games on your dsi XL using nintendo points.. I do NOT regret buying it, in fact i am VERY impressed, considering that the selection of games is huge and yu have so many games to choose from, kingdom hearts 358/2 days, megaman zero collection, dragonquest, drawn to life, the legend of zelda: spirit tracks, dragonball origins 2.. and so it continues..from puzzle to shooter games, you can find any type of game you want. The DS games are not only for little kids, they are for teens and adults as well. I probably play the DS as much as i play my xbox 360 . Now before you rush to the store and get the DSi XL I have some things to tell you : if you have a DSi do not i repeat do not get the XL, why? because it's basically a bigger console that's it. If you have the original DS or the DS lite, get this now!! beleive this will blow your mind away. The design is great, the functionality is amazing, the graphics are pretty good compared to the previous models, the performance is astounding and the sound is good as well, overall i recommend this 9/10 because for me there is nothing called a perfect console, i have only 1 issue with this game.. there isn't a gameboy slot, but i don't since i don't play gameboy games anymore and if i want an old game i'll just look in the dsi shop.. go get this NOW if you have a DS lite. i hope my review was helpfull and thanks for reading it.

Poke'mon Games
PostedJuly 11, 2010
Ok its a fun version of the DS and is ultimate controling for the Nintendo DS titles... but... If your like me a pokemon fan. Im sorry but I wouldn't recommend this. If you like transporting your pokemon to a GBA to a DS like for say... Leaf Green to Heart Gold. Its going to be likely impossible to do that without a GBA slot..I kinda regreting tradeing my DS Lite because of that. Other than That the DSi XL is great. Still back to he concept of Poke'mon because i know this is one of the most popular titles for DS games. When your playing Pokemon HeartGold or SoulSilver and your playing the minigames in it, The controlling is way better thanks to a bigger screen. I would honestly look like im playing a Sega GameGear next to a Gameboy Colour! HaHa! Anyway thats my review and check out more review on my youtube channel. Just type AnigamerNews on the youtube search engine. ByeBye!

I was going to get the psp 3000 before i read about it, but, when i read googled the nintendo dsi xl, read some info and watched youtube videos of people unboxing it and giving reviews for it, I decided to get this instead! worth every penny, i even bought some games for it also. the games are: mega man zero collection, NEW super mario brothers, mario kart, and mega man star force leo. I got namco museum, but it was given to me by one of my friends! I so plan on getting more games later on, im not sure which games yet! if anyone can recommend me some games for this, please tell me! I like fps, rpg and action games like the new super mario brothers. the reason i got the DSi XL is because im not interested in the 3d ds system thats coming out next year, although it will be the common thing in the future, 3d is not my thing!
