Reggie: No plans to reveal DSi-enhanced software until after launch

I can't wait to rescue Princess Zelda and Peach as a digitized version of my penis

Am I missing something? Doesn't it make sense to tell people how games will specifically use the new features of the DSi? Otherwise... we're supposed to get hyped about the "possibilities" of having a camera? and SD storage?

No, we'll tell you why to buy the system AFTER you've already bought it.

Great marketing plan!

A lot of the reporting I've read (no, not this article) seems to be completely clueless that all of this has happened before (and all of it will happen again, to quote BSG). When the Game Boy Color came out it was a relatively minor update to the Game Boy, much like the DSi. It added color, quadrupled the RAM, doubled the VRAM, and doubled the processor speed, but was overall the same architecture. They immediately unveiled games that would play in color on the GBC or B&W on the original (black cartridges), then hybrid games that would use different engines and provide different gameplay abilities on each, and finally games that were GBC-exclusive (transparent cartridge with a different shape), making full use of the system's hardware with no backward-compatibility. We'll go down the same road this time. We'll get a few games early on that can benefit from DSi functions, and they'll slowly start adding more and more of those functions to games, and as time goes by and as DSi numbers start approaching DS numbers, we'll start seeing the exclusives.

Now there's one factor that's different now, and that's DSiWare. We have no clue how big that's going to get, and how big the games on it are going to get. Considering DS games don't go over 256MB, and the SD slot can handle cards up to 32GB, they could easily make games available for download that are as big as, if not bigger than, retail cart games. And since these will work ONLY on the DSi, they may be the majority of the games that make exclusive use of the DSi's functionality, allowing the retail games to remain agnostic.

Ravem: No plans to buy DSi until after launch

Psst. Wrong story.

The way NoA's been talking, they have to have a press event coming between now and E3. They still need to resolve the vagaries of Motion Plus's launch (pretty much has to be in time for Grand Slam Tennis), as well as the future of DSi, and finally they have apparently slapped an NDA on some of the features of Punch-Out!!, a recent preview from G4TV said there were other features Nintendo wouldn't let them speak of

They need a venue to answer these questions, and it has to be, at least, before Punch-Out!! arrives.

If Spirit Tracks follows the path Phantom Hourglass has set, the DSi enhancement would be a stone tablet saying "Push the levers in order 3421 or take a picture of something yellow."
I just can't wait for that... Then again I'd love bigger screens. I don't think I'd 170€ love bigger screens though.
