Great. All I can picture now is my bratty cousins shoving their DSi's in my face as they "attack against the enemy in the environment"

"But we were only shooting the monsters on your face Jay! Why did you smash our DSi?!"
... is what they will say when I smash their DSi. #systemflaw

Seriously how do they expect these to sell. Not many have a DSi and on top of that its going to be a stupid game with a camera. #systemflaw

"DSi exclusive" sounds to be shorthand for "we take a phone camera game and put it in a 30 dollar cart!"

I'm so glad I never bothered with trading my DS in.

@wirebrain: I wish I'd traded mine in. It is heavy as hell and now has a battery life of about fifteen minutes.

True story, I just got fifteen minutes out of Scribblenauts, starting out with a full battery, before it died.

@Bialia: Amazon Canada sells the replacement battery for $18 with the tools last time I checked. It's as easy as unscrewing the back and popping a new one in. Thankfully it's not an iPod in that department.

"turn your surroundings into the playing environment, and your DSi into a weapon against attacking enemies."

I'm starting to regret buying my DSi over a DS Lite a few months ago, the lack of support for the console coming from Nintendo is rather worrying, especially considering the rumours of a new Nintendo handheld going about at the minute, it almost seems like they've just said "Fuck it, let's just move on and act like nothing happened." #systemflaw

The difference being the GB Micro wasn't a more powerful system that was touted to have exclusive software whereas the DSi is. #systemflaw

@Strife Fox †: If you upgraded from the DS Phat, I don't understand how you would regret buying it. Now, if you went from a Lite to the DSi, then yeah I can see the regret.

It has potential, but there's barely any software to put it to any use. It's reminiscent of the PS3 in its first year, though the DSi has only been out since April of this year. #systemflaw

@Strife Fox †: Lack of support?
You do realize how many amazing games the DS has, don't you? It's easily my second favorite system of all time. There's a ton of good games out now, and there's a ton of good games coming out. How you think there's any lack of support is beyond me, especially when the DSi Shop has a ton of great titles(Mighty Flip Champs, Mario Minis, Art Style, etc) #systemflaw

@TRT-X:
I was referring to the DSi, note the "i".

I have plenty of DS games to keep me busy, but I would be severely pissed if I'd paid an extra £50 (to get the DSi) instead of the £99 for a DS Lite, and they end up not bothering with the consoles features, like the SD slot etc, I bought a 2GB card with mine thinking there would be some cool games to download off the DSiWare, but how mistaken I was, there still is bassically NOTHING worth noting on there, apart from a bloody web browser.

I'm not even starting on the fact that you can only store photo's you've taken with the DSi's camera, or that you have to convert all your music to AAC format for it to play.

I thought they would have started releasing GameBoy/Colour/Advance games on it by now, which I would personally buy dozens of.

When they said it had an SD slot, I just assumed it would have a little more than "Mario Clock #108238". #systemflaw

@Sniper257: Exactly. The Micro was a GBA with less functionality and a gimmick of being really small. The DSi is a considerably more powerful piece of hardware touted as the successor to the DS.

The funniest part of all this is that most, if not all, of the people crying out for journalistic integrity have used Wikipedia as a reference source and probably even in there comments on Kotaku. I like other people think posting this info for all to see show's how much integrity Kotaku actually has.

One of the great things I love about Kotaku is how quick they are with getting us *everything*.

With that value comes some risk as a huge percentage of the content is harvested from other sources.

I think Kotaku doesn't have anything to be ashamed of here and I think Totilo has been a great addition to the Kotaku team adding lot of great and interesting content to an already amazing site.
