Nintendo DSi Sells Out Quickly, Reviews Coming In

The Nintendo DSi was released in Japan on Saturday, and the initial production run of 200,000 units has already sold out. 1Up has done some comparisons to the DS, and they have a video feature tour of the new hardware (which, predictably, has already been hacked). The image editing software is reported to be rather bare-bones, and the browsing is slow, but both features could likely be used with games in interesting ways. Nintendo will be launching a series of WarioWare games to demonstrate the DSi's capabilities. The DSi will likely reach North America next summer.

Re:Important info missing

I read on gbatemp earlier that WPA support was indeed there (see thread about Yasus hack/video for the post in question.)

Why shouldn't it work with older games to? I think the network part is rather separated from the games, considering you have to restart the DS between configuration and using the network in Metroid Prime, and it always looks the same.
