Nintendo DSi XL review | Technology

Does bigger mean better?

We’ll admit our first response to the news and initial pictures of the DSi XL was less than positive. We had fat DS units, we spent a mint getting smaller ones like the Nintendo DSi, so why would we want to spend cash buying a bigger one again?

And then we got our hands on the new handheld… we flipped back the DSi XL’s strikingly thick upper body to reveal two giant, bright screens that slapped our jaded views in the face like a wet fish.

It’s actually quite striking just how nice the new 4.2 inch screens are compared to the much smaller 3.25 inch screens of the standard DSi. Unlike any previous DS, they have impact, like the original PSP did when you first saw one.
