The new Nintendo DSi memory card feature has gone over with differing opinions to say the least. Some people absolutely love the fact that you can download games and play music on your DSi with the use of the memory card while others seem to think that giving up the GBA slot in place of an SD card slot is a bit out of the ordinary. They think that Nintendo is trying to separate itself from the Gameboy crowd by offering people a system that isn’t capable of playing the older cartridges.
The use of a Nintendo DSi memory card is a brilliant move for those people that like to take their DSi’s everywhere they go. Not only can you listen to all of your favorite music from it, but you can also use the gaming system as a camera and take pictures everywhere you take the game. With the memory card you are given extra space, even up to 8GB’s, to store all of your music, pictures, and downloaded games. This is much more space than earlier SD cards that were used in cameras and mobile phones. Times are changing and so are the media storage needs of consumers.
Some people think that by replacing the Gameboy Advance slot with a Nintendo DSi memory card slot was the wrong move for Nintendo to make. These people are diehard Nintendo fans and they feel that Nintendo is taking the DS in the same route that they took the Wii. By offering the ability to download games, you will be getting something that only the DSi can play and no other system can. This has good points and bad points according to some people. Some people like the thought of having exclusive games; others feel that it’s too elitist to force people to buy a new gaming system just to play a game.
