Break Out Those Styli: Nintendo DSi Handheld Launches in U.S.
Nintendo took the wraps off its latest and greatest handheld gaming platform, the Nintendo DSi, back in October of 2008, but it wasn’t until April 5th that the system officially went on sale in North America (following launches in Japan and Europe).

The handheld gaming system that American gamers have drooled over for months while it made the rounds in Japan is finally making its way across the Pacific. Nintendo announced on Wednesday that the DSi handheld will launch in the United States on April 5.
As the third generation of the Nintendo DS, the DSi sports a number of improvements, including a case that’s slimmer than the previous DS Lite, larger screens, better speakers, and two digital cameras: one pointing toward the user and one pointing away.
