Looks-wise there's not much different happening, but it's some 12 percent thinner -- partly because it omits the GBA cartridge slot. The displays are slightly larger, at 3.25 inches apiece, and there's an external three megapixel camera as well as a front-facing camera located on the inside hinge. The DSi has an SD slot and internal storage

OMG! new punchout for wii!!
remake of pikmin, first of gamecube remakes for wii
2gb sd card to solve wii storage problem

Before Pikmin (and not counting previous Wii remake Resident Evil 4), Nintendo will re-release Donkey Kong Jungle Beat on December 11. Upcoming titles in the collection include Chibi Robo, Pikmin 2, Mario Tennis GC, Metroid Prime, and Metroid Prime 2 Dark Echoes. No word on any release dates outside of Japan, but we'll be live at Nintendo of America's press conference in San Francisco later today.

Extra 2 cameras and SD memory?

Meh, I'd still buy an older NDSlite.

I was hoping Nintendo would actually make a machine that prints money. I guess this is just as close for them since it will sell millions in Japan. I can see sold out signs already.

Ugh, I thought when they told Chris Remo they were making Pikmin it would be Pikmin 3, not GCN Pikmin remade with new and improved waggle. Sucks to be a Wii owner these days...

According to GAF there isn't even going to be waggle. It is a straight shift from GCN to Wii, not even a port to use waggle.

One can only hope for Star Fox but after the abomination of Assault I hope it goes to one of the internal dev teams than to Scamco.
