The day that NWR receives a new system from Nintendo is always one filled with mirth, celebration, and life-affirming optimism. Director Jon Lindemann shares his unboxing of the new system in this video blog, and gives his thoughts on his new toy.

Be sure to read the DSi impressions already posted by Zach and Neal, and look for more coverage of DSiWare games in the days and weeks ahead.

At least his room is clean. I'd have to do a videocast in my living room because of the poor status my room is in.

The lights and mirror are weird. Funny about how it went off at the post office.

"You can see a little bit of the reflection there"
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I'm bald too

I hope the larger screen makes playing Moon easier.

Your video is not helping my willpower keep me from buying one with my birthday money. The black one looks so nice too.

Yeah, that room is boring, it's the extra bedroom though. There's not a lot in there. Trust me, my actual bedroom is a disaster.

Jonathan "Lex Luthor" Linde(r)mann looks tired. Get some sleep.

I've been wanting to get a DSi, but the only thing that's holding me back is that should I look for a GBA SP and trade in my DS Lite, or keep my DS Lite so I can play my GBA games.

THAT SHIRT IS F-ING AWESOME!!! but I agree this video is not helping me resist buying one either. sh** they're already available... better start saving up. (one of the main reasons that I ever considered buying one is because the screens are supposed to be bigger, but honestly they don't seem much bigger to me... apparently that doesn't matter much because I'm still putting money aside for my THIRD DS)

Good vid.

Is it strange that I want the box more than I want the DSi?

UltimatePartyBear · « **Reply #9 on:** April 07, 2009, 01:09:10 PM »

I'm curious how the speakers compare to the Lite's. Also, since the volume is controlled by buttons now, what's the gradient like? Is it large enough to be uncomfortable when using earphones? Is it still possible to have the speakers just barely audible in a quiet room?

This concerns me as well; well this and the power button. I wonder why they moved it.

They like to move around buttons and switches to make the system feel new.

I imagine these tertiary inputs simply get placed wherever there's room left after all the important stuff is nailed down. They don't have a lot of leeway to move the D-pad, after all. Maybe the camera hardware and wiring forced them to move the power button.

They move them to justify higher price tags to cover the cost of building a new factory to make these forms and motherboards.

I know on my Lite I'm a little worried that my right hand could hit the power button enough to turn off the system. I'm a southpaw so I hold the DS primarily with my right hand on stylus intensive games and my hand tends to press against the power button at times. So I'm glad they moved that switch.

Yeah, I was up super-late the night before. I look like a zombie.

I'll check on the volume. I can tell you that the speakers are loud.

GoldenPhoenix · « **Reply #17 on:** April 07, 2009, 07:35:12 PM »

BTW it is Lindy Luthor. Not John "Lex Luthor" Linderman.

AV · « **Reply #18 on:** April 07, 2009, 08:14:21 PM »

is it safe to assume that RFN will now discuss DSi game downloads ??

Jonnyboy117 · « **Reply #19 on:** April 07, 2009, 10:37:52 PM »

I'm sure whoever has a DSi will talk about any games they download. Jon is the only one I know of so far.

I got Aquia and Birds 'n' Beans, Jonny. The former is an actual puzzle game (sure ain't pretty, tho) and the latter is a cell phone game.

He's just trying to get hits from the zombie craze that has been storming consoles this generation. Maybe the RSS feed should say "Zombie Luthor Eats DSi Box's Brains"

So I assume that first box (with the mirror and cheering) is only for the review systems sent out to the press? I want that.

On a side note, how long was this site in existence before you got companies to start sending you free stuff?
