The Nintendo DSi XL — also known as the Nintendo DSi LL in Japan — is a handheld game console produced by Nintendo. The “XL” simply stands for Extra Large. It is the 4th version of the Nintendo DS and is sold concurrently with the Nintendo DSi.

It was released in Japan in late 2009 and was released in Europe, North America, and Australia between March and April 2010. As with the regular DSi, the DSi XL has two screens bigger than the other versions, one of which is touch sensitive, along with two built-in cameras, and all regular DS and DSi games can be played on it. The features are all the same as the DSi — but bigger.

The actual size differences between the original Nintendo DS and the new DSi XL are not great. However, the screen space, additional features, and better graphics make it much better overall.

Once you play the Nintendo DSi XL you certainly won’t want to go back to any of the other versions of the DS if that’s what you have. Go get one!
