The Nintendo DSi XL, which has the largest total screen size of any handheld console on the market and a wider view angle, will be launched across Europe on 5th March 2010. The new handheld console sports two 4.2 inch screens — 93% bigger than the screen on the Nintendo DS Lite. In addition, the new screens have a much wider viewing angle, making it easy for people to watch and share the fun - or be irritating back seat gamers, whichever way you want to see it.

The new handheld is a premium addition to the Nintendo DS family, coming pre-loaded with some top software: Dr Kawashima’s: Little Bit of Brain Training: Arts Edition and Dictionary 6 in 1 with Camera Function and the Nintendo DSi Browser, which enables you to easily access the internet from anywhere with a Wi-Fi connection. The console is launching in two colours — wine red and dark brown, with a glossy sheen on top and matt finish on the underside that provides excellent grip when resting on a table or other surface during gameplay. It also features a larger pen-like stylus, making gameplay more comfortable and natural.

The Nintendo DSi XL will feature the full capabilities of the original Nintendo DSi, which launched in Europe in April 2009, and will offer features such as the ability to create, customise and share photos with friends and family, listen to and play with your music and sounds and download games through the Nintendo DSi Shop.
