Nintendo DSi XL

The Nintendo DSi XL (known as the Nintendo DSi LL in Japan) is the third redesign of the Nintendo DS after the DS Lite and DSi. The DSi XL is only a slight redesign of the original Nintendo DSi and was made with the same hardware. Its main new features are a larger 4.2 inch screen and new colors. The system was released in Japan on November 21, 2009 in the colors WineRed, DarkBrown, and NaturalWhite.

It was made to rival the PlayStation Portable in size and offer options to elderly players. According to Nintendo, the new system was made to give players a different option to the Nintendo DSi, similar to the Game Boy Advance SP and the Game Boy micro compared to the original Game Boy Advance.

Software

Preloaded on the internal memory for the Japanese DSi LL: the DSi Browser, Flipnote Studio, Brain Age Express: Arts & Letters, Brain Age Express: Math, and Meikyou Kokugo Rakubiki, Jitena dictionary program. The European release will include the games Dr. Kawashima’s: Little Bit of Brain Training: Arts Edition and Dictionary 6 in 1 with Camera Function alongside the DSi Browser. Contents for the North American release have yet to be confirmed. It will also be capable of downloading and playing DSiWare. Like the current DSi, there is no slot for Game Pak cartridges so Pokémon can't be Migrated.
