Nintendo keeps pushing along its portable gaming device after seeing its success. It’s particularly popular with children, but it certainly has attracted a core group of hardcore gamers. We belong in that group, so we’d know. The company just announced a new version of the DSi, the XL. DSi XL is bigger in size and packs a few interesting features that Wired has reviewed.

According to Wired, the Nintendo DSi XL has, “big, gorgeous screens and comfy Sharpie-sized stylus prove it: size matters. Better battery life than DSi.”

However, they weren’t a fan of the blown-up art, which “looks a bit pixelized,” and “where are we supposed to store the giant stylus?”

In essence, “if you haven’t yet traded up from a DS Lite to the DSi, you might want to wait until the XL comes out. If you’ve already upgraded, the benefits are less obvious at first – but we bet that once you try XL for yourself, you’ll one too.”
