Gaming

Hand-held console pioneers Nintendo are staying ahead of the curve with the new Nintendo DSi, the latest incarnation of the world's best-selling portable video game system.

The touch screen technology, WiFi connectivity and voice recognition capabilities of the Nintendo DS and DS Lite remain, with exciting new additions to further improve the experience.

The casing is now slimmer (12% small than NSDL) but the screens are actually bigger (17%). Built-in internet also lets you browse on the move.

Two cameras, downloadable Nintendo DSiWare and the option of playing your favourite music via SD cards now make it easier to apply your own personal touch to the DSi, no matter where you are.

You can use it to boost your brain power through the popular Dr Kawashima's Brain Training titles or enjoy immersive gaming with the likes of Professor Layton, Mario Kart and Peppa Pig.

The two cameras - one points towards the user, the other outwards - come with ten lens effects, including distortion, colour and mirror.

Key features:

• Games can be 'hot-swapped' without switching off
• Stylus now fatter and longer
• SD card slot for music and photos
• Colour: White
