There's a new Nintendo DSi coming. And it's coming this year to Japan, boasting a larger 4" screen and... well, a larger 4" screen, according to a report from the reliable Nikkei news service.

According to that report, which appeared in the Nikkei newspaper and has since made its way online, the price for the new, larger DSi will remain the same, 18900 yen. The large screen DSi, three-quarters of an inch larger than the current model, is said to be aimed at an older market, the type who likes big buttons on their telephones and large print books.

While the jumbo Nintendo DSi is planned to hit Japan this year, says the Nikkei, a release elsewhere is said to be under discussion. Nintendo announced the original DSi in a similar fashion, officially unveiling the device last October then releasing it domestically before the end of the year.

We're checking in with Nintendo of America for comment and will update if they have anything interesting or confirming to say.

Wow did you see it in action!? And as lame as this is I almost always play my DS at home or around home so the lack of portability wouldn't be an issue. Dang I kinda want...
 
i already have a DS phat that still fits comfortably in my pocket so this shouldn't be too bad

But four redisigns for one console? Not even GBA had that many.

Mostly because they had the DS ready to go soon after. Which is why the DS had a GBA slot. Plus the GBA had 3 redesigns in the span of 4 years.
