Nintendo DSi Out In US This April 5th

Boys and girls, mark your calendars if you’re interested in picking up the Nintendo DSi. While the portable console has already been out in Japan for a few months already for $180 a pop there after conversion, it will finally arrive on North American shores this April 5th. Just to recap, the DSi features a couple of digital cameras that have been integrated, while an interactive voice recorder ups the ante in the realm of gaming. There is even an SD memory card slot thrown in for you to play your favorite MP3 tunes, but we wouldn’t discard that faithful DS Lite or DS Phat just yet as those have the GBA slot which the DSi lacks. Nintendo will sell its DSi for a cheaper $169.99 when compared to Japan’s version, but it is still more expensive than the DS Lite. Will you upgrade come this April?
