The long-awaited North American launch of the Nintendo DSi is finally here. The camera-equipped iteration of Nintendo’s popular portable system hit US shelves Sunday morning, trailing its Japanese launch by nearly half a year.

However, the new-fangled system will play the newly released DS game Rhythm Heaven just fine. For more on that title, check out the video review below… Enjoy!
