Our take on the Nintendo DSi Handheld Console

The Nintendo DSi is the third revision of the DS line, a dual-screen handheld with two cameras, a matte finish and a slightly larger screen than the DS Lite. It drops the Game Boy Advance cartridge slot, so it plays DS game cards and DSiWare downloads only. It suits players who want a cheap way into the DS library, but anyone with a GBA collection should look at the DS Lite instead. Compared with the DSi XL, it is smaller and lighter but has smaller screens.

Does the DSi play Game Boy Advance games?
No. The DSi has no GBA cartridge slot. It plays DS game cards and DSiWare downloads only.
