Nintendo Gaming / Re: DSi owners' thread

@bosshgx - I downloaded Art Style: Aquia, and it is a lot of fun. It takes a few rounds to get used to how the blocks move and line up, but then it is really fun and the music is pretty good too, especially if you use headphones. You said you use the 4th brightness setting - do you leave wireless enabled (yellow LED light), AND do you get around the 4-6 hrs. of battery life that Nintendo suggests or longer/shorter do you think? Do you charge it every day? Thanks.

I'm asking what screen brightness OTHER people use (like a poll, somewhat). I'm curious if they use the default (level 4) or go to the highest brightness and sacrifice even more battery life or if they go any lower than that. There are people here who have a DSi and they obviously have it set at one of the five brightness settings, so I am just curious as to which one and what kind of battery life they are getting.

The screens do seem larger (at least on the black model they do). The resolution is the same though, so there wont be anything else on the screen, but what is on the screen may seem a tad bit bigger.

I made a seperate thread for this and I was not getting help, but rather bashed for my user name. I have a simple question: Which brightness level do you use on the new DSi? 4 is the default. Considereding both battery life AND comfort/visibility, etc. of the screen - which brightness level do you guys like when comparing the brightness to the battery life? Are you getting the battery life estimates listed by Nintendo or more/less for the brightness level you use? Thank you very much.

@vudu: Actually, the reason I picked that name is so it is consistent on all the internet services and forums that I use. The 430 has some significance to me. I don't see any rules that say I can't have any numbers in my user name. Oh.... and I added an avatar and some other personal information. Happy? It's pretty pathetic - I come here just to ask a question, maybe get some help and then be part of the community, but then I get bashed for my user name? It's not like I have "I hate Nintendo" for a user name or anything. I read the NWR RSS feed daily, so I figured I'd sign up for the community. I didn't realize I had to have a proper user name, avatar, and some other information so I wasn't considered a bot and/or accepted here. I mean I did type in all the words/numbers that the site registration asks for so I'm not considered a bot, in addition to not putting spam here, just a simple question about the DSi brightness. What are you, like 13 years old or something?


Anyway, for any one who would be willing to help out a new member to your community, I would really appreciate it. I just want to know what people think of the brightness / battery ratio and what brightness setting they use (and what battery life they get from it). I still can't decide between level 4 and 3 brightness. Thank you very much.

@vudu, im sorry you think my user name is bad. I am a an Apple fan, I'm sorry if that offends you or anyone else on this board. I think the most important thing is trying to seek help to questions on the forums though, not judge other people's user names. I understand you don't have a DSi, but the user name remark was not really needed.

Going back to the DSi, I would like to know which brightness level you guys prefer and if you're getting decent battery life (same as advertised, or better/worse). Thank you everyone.

For anyone who just got a DSi, I'm wondering what brightness level you use and what kind of battery life you experience at that level (not the approx. values, but your own experience).

Nintendo Gaming / DSi - Prefered brightness level

« on: April 06, 2009, 12:24:23 PM »

Well I got my DSi and it is fantastic. I had my DS lite shortly after it was released. I always played it on the 3rd (out of 4) brightness settings. I got great battery life and the picture was really good on my eyes. Now that the DSi has 5 brightness settings (ships out of the factory on setting 4 "high" by default) which one do you prefer? I keep switching between 3 and 4. Level 3 is rated for 6-9hrs. which is about the same as the setting I used on the DS lite--battery life wise (but its a bit darker). The 4th (default) setting of the DSi is about the same as the 3rd setting on the DS lite--brightness wise, but its only rated between 4-6 hrs.

DSi Brightness level 4 - same brightness (about) as DS lite (level 3).
DSi Brightness level 3 - same battery life (about) as DS lite (level 3).
 
Considering both battery life AND comfort/visibility/color, which brightness setting do you guys use on your new DSi (remember 4 is the default). Are you getting good battery life on level 4 (more than the claimed "4-6 hours" or are you getting about 4-6 hours. Thanks you for your input.

Nintendo Gaming / Re: DSi - will it fit inside the Club Nintendo silver DS Lite case (400 coins)?

I was actually the one who asked that question for that article. Well now that I have my DSi, it does fit in the Club Nintendo case, but it's somewhat of a tight fit. Actually, the page where you can order that reward now says: "Note: The Nintendo DSi will not fit in this case." - that was added after I asked this question. Thanks anyways though.

It is thinner (if you close a DSi and a DS Lite and lay them flat on a table and were to measure them with a ruler from the group up to the ceiling, the DSi is thinner. If you look at the top of a DSi (where the outter camera is, and a DS Lite where the two-squares DS logo is in the case) you will see that the DSi is just a bit longer:

----------- DS Lite
------------ DSi

for example. thats why I am wondeirng if it will still fit inside of the Club Nintendo case that I got in Janurary.

Nintendo Gaming / DSi - will it fit inside the Club Nintendo silver DS Lite case (400 coins)?

« on: March 30, 2009, 05:58:10 PM »

Hello everyone. I don't know if any of you have the silver DS Lite case (that holds two games inside of it) It is 400 coins from our North American Club Nintendo. I know the DSi is a few mm longer than the DS Lite. It looks like when I keepp my DS Lite inside of this case there is a little bit of wiggle room. I was wondering if any of you have the DSi (imported) and know if it will fit inside of the Club Nintendo DS Lite case. Thanks for your help. Have a nice day.
