Nintendo does what!?, To think we've seen it all...

They're making the DSi bigger.

Well, it is tiny. But not tiny enough to justify something this retarded. Honestly, it'd be best if Nintendo didn't waste their time on this. Why? Granted, game console development has been changed from five-year cycles to ten-year cycles (making the 360 valid for another seven or eight years, unless I've been lied to), but Nintendo did badly screw us (and themselves) over with the Wii, and even with several years before the next generation of consoles, they're still gonna need to work almost-non-stop, since they've fallen behind by a concerningly large margin.

No graphics.

No power.

No game size.

FINAL DESTINATION. Crappy motion-sensing gimmick.

What they should be doing is working furiously throughout the day 'n' nite (as opposed to tossing, turning, and stressing their mind, mind) to correct their mistake, as they've put themselves way behind Microsoft (wow, is that possible? oh, wait, we're talking games, not software), though thankfully, it's impossible to lose to Sony.

Why am I ripping on Nintendo so much? Two reasons:

1. The only game that ever used the Wiimote to great effect was Okami. In all other games that I've played or even seen, it was either neutral or detrimental.

2. I've played Halo 3, and seen the awesomeness that is the Ecksbawkz 360.

TL;DR: Nintendo needs to stop wasting their time and catch up with everyone else everyone except Sony.

Thought this thread was going to be about the wii system update that bricks non-hacked wii's.

But yeah Nintendo's weird.

Why does the DSi need to be bigger? It's okay as it is. It's not that bad for me, because I haven't upgraded to DSi yet, and this could accommodate my hands, which required me to purchase an accessory to bulk it up. To me, this is mixed news.

As for the Wii, yes, they could have made it a graphic machine, but it's too late for that now. I don't know the exact numbers, but Nintendo is currently the market leader. With that being the case, would they really need to change their approach?

The next Nintendo handheld is supposed to be technically on par with Wii. I hope Nippon Ichi considers it for a port of Disgaea 3, because it's currently my only reason to buy a PS3. If they port it, I won't have to.
