Nintendo is transforming the way people access, experience, create and share content with the new Nintendo DSi™ system, the third iteration of the world's best-selling portable video game system. With two built-in cameras, new audio recording and playback functions, and downloadable games and applications, Nintendo DSi lets users customize their hand-held gaming experiences like never before.
