Nintendo has recently announced their new DSi XL console. A brand new DSi for the Japanese market, they have done away with the portability of the old DS Lite and DSi and instead focused on, perhaps, older visually impaired users or game players with larger hands.
The DSi XL, which will be called the DSi LL in Japan, will be almost an inch wider than the existing DSi. Each screen will get boosted to a much larger 4.25 inches (currently, the DSi has 3.25 inch screens and the DSi has 3 inch screens), which makes the amount of screen real estate about 93% more than the DS Lite. Battery life will remain somewhat the same as that of the DSi, with the console being able to last 4-5 hours on maximum brightness and 13-14 hours on the minimum.
As you can see from the image, two styles of stylus will be available with the new DSi XL. The larger, new style stylus looks much like a pen, while the traditional stylus stays much the same.
With the exception of size, however, the new DSi XL is unlikely to have any improvements over the existing DSi. No prices have been set yet for European or American release.
