The Shrine

Browser works rather well. Top screen shows a zoomed out image of the page, lower screen is more zoomed in. There is a box on the top screen that shows you the area you are zoomed in on. It pops up a simple keyboard interface on the touch screen to type which I am already getting faster at using. No flash capability tho, which kinda sucks.

I am also surprised by the quality of the cameras. I had thought that the quality was gonna be shit but its surprisingly good. Playing with the diffrent lenses is a lot of fun as well.

As far as sound goes, quality is high and actually I think the max volume is higher as well.

The bigger screens are also nice aand they can be set brighter than the ds lite screens.

The system menu is completly revamped, and is set up more like the Wii. Of note is the fact that you cann change settings without rebooting the system now. You can also switch games without turning the system off. You can tap the power button to soft reset the system or hold it down to turn it off.

Overall nothing but positive feelings so far

I played around with one for about 5 minutes this morning (someone from work got one). It feels somewhat better than the DS Lite does in the hands; though until I play Mario Kart on it,t he verdict is still up in the air. While it doesn't have the GBA slot, I wouldn't worry too much about that so long as you have another device to play GBA stuff on (I have a couple of others).

I am going to wait until E3 though, just in case something gets announced for the handheld market.

Let me know how that Wario Ware game is. I've loved the innovation with each of the games in the series and I'm wondering how this one turned out.

Did you get the 1000 free Nintendo Points when you logged into the shop?

There's a new WarioWare???

Ah, and you need the DSi. Hmm...I was thinking of getting one anyway. If I do, I'll have to pick that up. WW:Twisted is still the best, imo. That was just an awesome game all around.

Yeah, Twisted was the best. But not by much. I loved Touched and Smooth Moves too

I like Smooth Moves the best because of how fun the multiplayer mode is. I don't think I would enjoy the game nearly as much without the 'pass the Wii remote around' aspect to it. Even as a single player game I find it a lot of fun, something I can pick up and play for a short time in the morning.

I am not a big wario ware fan so I dont plan to get it but yes I got 1000 free DSi points. From what I hear the whole thing is done with the camera and is supposed to be the game to show off what the DSi can do.

Yeah, WarioWare games tend to use the new features well. I still need to get Smooth Moves.

Since the first one, they've always been about the new technology. Twisted had the gyro sensor in it, Touched was a DS launch title, Smooth Moves was about different ways to use the WiiMote, and Snapped (I think that's what it's called) is about the camera on the DSi. I've personally loved all of them (even the GC one is fun as hell) so I'd be all over that one. I hear it ain't too good though, that the camera sensor don't work too well

I went ahead and downloaded it but couldnt play it cause the room was too dark. It looks like you dont even hold the system in your hands, it instructs you to set the DSi down on a table and sit away from it.

Yeah, taht's what it looked like from the trailer I saw. The cameras always have an issue with the light so I figure you have to play it in bright rooms to get the full effect. That's probably why some people are having trouble with it. The Eye Toy had the same problem
