The Nintendo DSi XL (known as the Nintendo DSi LL (ニンテンドーDSi LL) in Japan) is a handheld game console produced by Nintendo and the fourth iteration of the Nintendo DS handheld gaming console, being the direct successor to the Nintendo DSi, although the original Nintendo DSi will continue to be sold alongside the DSi XL. It was released in Japan on November 21, 2009 and is stated to be released in Europe on March 5, 2010[1] and in North America in the first quarter of 2010.
Hardware
The DSi XL measures 161 x 91.4 x 21.2 mm (6.34 x 3.6 x 0.83"), 1.61x the total volume of the DSi, and 1.48x the volume of the DS Lite. It weighs 314 grams, compared to the DSi's 214g, the DS Lite's 218g and the original DS's 300g.
The screens measure 4.2 inches diagonal.[2] For comparison, the DSi's screens measure 3.25 inches and the DS Lite's screens are 3 inches, making the screen 93 percent larger than the DS Lite's.[1] As it is only a minor hardware revision, there is no reason to believe that the resolution will change from 256x192 pixels per screen. The reason for the larger screens is mainly attributed to allowing easier play on games that feature small text and precision gameplay. Another reason, according to Nintendo president Satoru Iwata, is "to offer a new play style, where those who are surrounding the game player can also join in one way or the other to the gameplay."[3][4]
The Japanese version is available in three colors (Wine Red, Dark Brown, and Natural White), all of which were available upon launch.[5] The European DSi XL will initially be released in Wine Red and Dark Brown (with a glossy sheen on top and matte finish on the underside).[1]
The DSi XL, like every other DS, includes a stylus that fits into the unit. The DSi XL stylus is 96mm long, just 4mm longer than the stylus on the DSi. The XL also includes a 129.3mm-long pen-shaped stylus, which does not fit inside the console. In addition, for the first time in the DS line, two DS models will share a common AC adapter. The DSi XL will use the same AC adapter as the DSi.
Despite the increased size of the displays, the battery in the DSi XL supposedly outlasts that in the DSi. Nintendo claims 13-17 hours of runtime on the lowest brightness setting, compared to 9-14 on the DSi. On the highest brightness, the DSi XL supposedly lasts 4-5 hours, one hour longer than the range for the DSi.
Software
Preloaded on the internal memory for the Japanese DSi LL: the DSi Browser, Flipnote Studio, Brain Age Express: Arts & Letters, Brain Age Express: Math, and Meikyou Kokugo Rakubiki Jiten, a dictionary program. The European release will include the games Dr. Kawashima’s: Little Bit of Brain Training: Arts Edition and Dictionary 6 in 1 with Camera Function alongside the DSi Browser. Contents for the North American release have yet to be confirmed.
Being a variant of the DSi ll, the XL will be able to play DS cartridges, including those designed or enhanced only for the DSi. It will also be capable of downloading and playing DSiWare. Like the current DSi, there is no slot for Game Boy Advance cartridges.
