Well fuck! Ended up looking totally different than what I imagined! They went back to the "old style" speaker holes. Hmm...
Look at the curves, the stylus, and the color. No offense is meant when I say this, but it definitely looks catered to elders (not that that is a bad thing, just saying).

What the hell? Why? Bloody hell, great way to install confidence to those of us who already bought the DSi! It's only been a year!

What confidence? Mine just sits there, gathering dust. Total waste of money.

Can it play your old DS games at least?
More like DSi LoLThe only reason I even clicked this thread was because I thought he left the "O" out of "LOL".
Are people really upset over this? I don't get the reaction. It's just another model, catering to a different crowd. It's not like they're gonna make games specifically for it or anything.

It's the opposite of the PSP Go in terms of design.
Is this DS even going to come out in the U.S.?
they didn't remove anything from the hardware, though, they just made the screens bigger to make a version more accessible to a wider audience
in my opinion this is a much smarter move than the psp go

It'd been funny if they reintroduced the GB slot with the iLL.
And what's wrong with gaming on public transportation? Ain't nobody gonna take away my Panzer Tactics and Picross DS sessions on my commutes. I don't have an image to protect when I'm on an express bus.

I agree that it's not as bad as the PSP Go, but the idea of why people are against it is mostly the same. You expect to want new hardware when it's released thinking it's an improvement, and when it's a lateral revision rather than an improvement, people complain and ignore that the devices they've been using hasn't gone anywhere. I feel the same way as I did with the PSP Go in that, since the Gameboy, I've bought almost every new portable hardware because they've been improvements in one sense or the other. With both the Go and LL, this is the first time when I've felt like they're not for me, but at the same time, since they're not for me I'm upset that they aren't using those resources to release something I'd like instead. It's unintentional greed that really doesn't amount to more a than customer not buying a product. It's the internet.
if i were interested in a ds this would appeal to me because i don't have little baby hands
