Nintendo DSi XL - Midnight Blue [video game]

Well, having gone through alot of trouble trying to get a DSi, I hoped it would be worth it. And it defineately was! The problem I always had with the old versions of the DS was that it was just a games console, nothing else, it jus played games. That's why I spent time trying to find games that were like tools (e.g.the web browser game you could buy). But the DSi has met my expectations. It's cameras may be low res, but do we expect them to be 10 megapixel super cameras? No, they're just for fun, and that's what some people are finding hard to grasp, the DSi is for enjoyment. The DSiware was slow to load most of the time, as was the bowser, but it was very useful for good games like Wario snapped or apps lke Flipnote Studio. A problem I found though was that you couldn't link your WiiWare account with your DSiware account, so you had to buy separate points, but this won't be a problem for people who don't own a Wii. I was dissapointed by the internet, as it didn't use a 3G connection or special Nintendo hotspot connection, but an extra cost would probably be added if this was the case. On the other hand, the wi-fi is easy to use if you are connecting to a free hotspot like McDonalds and your wi-fi at home is also simple to log on to, you can get surfing in a couple of minutes. Overall, this is a brilliant update from the previous DS's, and next up will probaby be a DS with video recording and software for it. But this is perfect for me, being just 11 years old and just wanting to play around with photos and sounds for fun. Well Done Nintendo!

The Nintendo DSi XL is everything I hoped for and more. My favorite handheld console!

Well I bought this console like a month ago, and I gotta say I really like it much. Games look awesome on this huge screen, the difference is very clear if you have a ds or ds lite. For someone who use glasses is pretty awesome and it helps a lot to see better. Some cons could it be that some ame pixelate a bit, but the great sound and image make it a great option. At first it was a bit unconfortable because even I don't have small hands playing more than 8 hours make your hands really tired. It contains a slot for SD which is nice, it can read photos, music files (A litte downside there, you need to convert your mostly regular mp3 music files to AAC). Can save flipnote files on the SD card too (flipnote its a free aplication included) and voice files which are recorded on another aplication for the DS (It records the sound pretty good) It also got a camera, around 3 or 5 megapixels... not that bad, but it doesn't have flash, so forget the idea of taking photos in the dark, also it always make noise when taking photos, which can be annoying for some people. Another interesting thing, is the browser (made by Opera), unfortunatetly it doesnt support adobe flash but if you are not a youtuber or visit websites with a lot of use of flash then its no problem I've been playing a few games (rune factory, order of ecclesia, pokemon dungeon, and pokemon pearl), but all just look great. I waited to buy the dsi xl at the begining, since I don't like much the first two colors and this midnight blue (even if is not real midnight blue since midnight blue will be very blackish) is wonderful, with its glossy appearance at the top. I bought a case so it would no get any scratch. I bought one for my bf little brother, and he just loved it. Overall I made the review for my sister because she obligated me. So there are mix opinions here... So yeah, its a good portable system... I recommend it

Brought back great memories playing old skool games.

I've owned the original "phat" DS, I still own the DS Lite (even the great gold Zelda edition) and I prefer playing the DSi XL now whenever possible. I sold my old DSi to get the DSi XL and I'm very happy I did. Besides the extra screen real estate of the XL, the battery life of the DSi was noticeably less compared to the DSi XL. The bigger screens of the XL are excellent--yes they do slightly render graphics a bit softer than the DS Lite. If you compare the welcome screen text on the DS Lite to the DSi XL, the DS Lite text is sharp as a tack, whereas it is slightly, slightly blurred on the XL. Being a home theater buff I'm a stickler for visuals presented in the best way possible, but the slightly softer, or in some cases slightly more blocky graphics (I emphasize slightly) of the larger DSi XL screens are not off-putting in the least. I greatly prefer to play games on my DSi XL unless: A) I want extreme portability, the DSi XL is much larger than the DSi or DS Lite in terms of fitting in your pocket. B) I want GBA support, like the DSi, the DSi XL sadly loses the GBA slot for an extra camera--I really hardly ever use even one of the cameras.

For $150 this is a great value! Only very few imperfections in the plastic but the screens are almost perfect and no button wear! I great edition to your ds family of systems!

Fast delivery and works just fine. The battery is a bit weaker than a fresh Dsi of course, but if that becomes a problem then a replacement battery should do the trick. Dsi has no stylus as listed, but those can also be bought seperately. Seems like a good investment so far.

It looks almost new to be honest. I’m surprised. But that’s a good thing. The only downsides were unclear tracking at first (might not be the seller’s fault there), and that there was no dsi pen. But aside from that, it’s all good. Happy with my purchase. Worried for nothing. Thanks!

Super awesome and works great. It looked brand new, and I got it on the date it said it would arrive despite the pandemic. Really stoked!

The DSi arrived in decent shape, however, the body/plastic almost seemed 3rd party? I still have my childhood DSI xl of the same colour and there’s a noticeable difference, otherwise everything works well and I’ve already modded it. It didn’t come with the nice stylus but it did come with a 4gb SD card in it.

I don’t usually write reviews but this seller is amazing. Wasn’t expecting much as this is a used dsi XL and it’s been forever since I’ve seen one. But super fast shipping arrived in 3 days, in great condition everything works came with charger, buttom screen is a little scratched but that’s to be expected on an old used console. It even came with a lego Batman GAME! I was not expecting that! Not sure if I was the only one who received a game with it and got lucky but I am absolutely more than happy with this purchase!
