Giants Rejoice! The Nintendo DSi LL Is Real!

Not satisfied with those miniature buttons on your DSi? Squinting to see what your Pokemon are doing on your tiny handheld? Keep losing that toothpick of a stylus? Thankfully, Nintendo has solved all your problems with the Japanese release of the DSi LL (or XL in Europe.) The DSi LL (does anyone else keep saying Nintendo window sill when they see that?) rocks dual 4.25 inch screens, a thicker pen-like stylus, and new colors (dark brown, white, wine red.) It releases in Japan on November 21 and in Europe early 2010. No plans yet on it coming to the Americas.

Is this a necessary update to the handheld line? Is there really a big enough market of people, perhaps children or elders, who would benefit from a bigger screen and stylus? The device seems to have no new features other than size, and while priced at around $220 US, it's more than a Wii. I suppose time will tell if Nintendo is justified yet again in their craziness and the thing prints money. One thing's for sure though, that dark brown is sexy. Do want.

Hit the jump to see a comparison shot of the DSi being towered by the new DSi LL. (via Cnet)

I'm... not sure I understand the point of this. The DSi already features larger screens. I'm afraid that the DSi XL won't be as portable as the other versions, and that alone is a big downside to me.
