Fans of Ace Attorney will be happy to know that Capcom is releasing a new game based on the famous series at the end of this month. Capcom is all set to release a limited edition DSi branded with Taihokun, the Police Mascot designed by Gumshoe (a Character in the game) and a special package including the new opus of the Ace Attorney series.

It may not be as cool as the GTA: Chinatown Wars Ds Lite, but it’s cooler than the Kingdom Hearts DSi. It’s nice to see so much variety in Nintendo’s handheld lately.

The Nintendo DSi just launched and already we can show you some hardware to buy for the new handheld. The folks over at Joystiq sat down with David Young, the assistant PR manager for Nintendo of America. Mr. Young said that DSi interaction with the Wii was “certainly a possibility,” but he didn’t say anything else on the matter.

He did let one thing out of the bag though. That the DSi will soon be interacting with some new peripherals in the form of a pair of pedometers that will ship with the Personal Trainer: Walking title. Apparently the devices connect wirelessly with the console. The game will be the first title where you can import a Mii character from the Wii. You can even attach one of the pedometers to your dog if you like, to gauge it’s exercise habits/needs.

According to Masato Kuwahara, project leader of the Nintendo DSi Hardware group, the big N is planning “Nintendo DSi enhanced game cards,” that offer DSi hardware-specific game features. The games would still be playable on both the Nintendo DS and the Nintendo DSi, but would have special features that can only be accessed on the DSi.

Kuwahara gave an example of using these features to create textures from photographs taken with the DSi camera. So, I’m guessing you can map your face onto Mario or a Pokemon if you want.

The Wii has a Virtual Console that lets you download games from the NES, SNES, etc. But there are no Game Boy games. That could be because they were saving them for the Nintendo DSi.

A rumour on game site Kombo seems to confirm that thinking. Apparently at a recent event for Club Nintendo members, it was announced that the DSi would be getting its own Virtual Console. Where you could buy Game Boy & Game Boy Advance titles. The games would be saved to an SD card and would at first be limited to first-party Nintendo titles.

Nintendo may be planning an app download service of its own, and has been encouraging developers to come up with app-like content for the DSi. We can’t really say it’s a surprise since everyone else seems to be either already doing it or planning on doing it.

The Japanese version of the DSi already connects to the DS Shop and DSi Ware, Nintendo’s gaming store. But according to a developer, the company is hoping to get some non-gaming stuff on the device. You know, the kind of stuff that that fits and enriches your lifestyle.

There’s finally an official Japanese release date for Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days in Japan! May 30th, Japanese gamers will be able to play the rpg for 5,980 yen or $60 which is kinda steep for a DS game.

Even steeper is the Kingdom Hearts Louis Vuitton inspired black DSi bundle which costs 24,480 yen or $246! The question is, are you a fan enough of goth Disney to pay those prices?

It was just the other day that we were complaining about the lack of color options for the DSi and looky here. Three new colors of the Nintendo DSi just announced in Japan for ¥18,900 beginning March 20th.

It’s nice to know that Nintendo is giving us some options, despite the fact that the device has not yet launched outside of Japan. Australia will be limited to the black and white models when it launches there on April 2nd, while Europe will launch with the same choices starting April 3rd. The US will get the DSi on April 5th in the boo-boo colors of either black or blue.

Details are starting to trickle out about the American version of Nintendo’s DSi, We already have a release date and price , now we have a video tour.

It will show you what you’ll be getting from the big N on April 5th. The video shows off the dual cameras and new design, and shows you that you want one of these in your hot little hands.

Those of you wanting to preorder the Nintendo DSi before the April 5th US date can now do so as Amazon and GameStop are both accepting preorders. We’re talking $169 for the base system from both retailers, but GameStop has no problem upping the price with some bundled accessories.

Try to contain yourself as you decide which of it’s two colors to choose. Why they would limit the colors for it’s release is anybody’s guess, but I don’t like blue and black damnit! The question of the day is this. Will the limited color choice influence whether you will buy one or not?

Here’s some news that we have all been waiting for. Soon. Yes, very soon you’ll be able to get your hands on a genuine DSi in North America on April 5th. The handheld will launch for $169.99 and will include dual cameras and the ability to download content called DSiWare which starts at 200 DSi Points.

The handhelds will come in blue or black colors, but we will see more choices down the road.

The November 1st release of the Nintendo DSi in Japan is approaching quickly. Here’s an “informational video” from Nintendo Japan. It shows off the new UI, camera and voice modulation. The DSi store and the DSi’s revamped UI are also highlighted. But some questions remain. Will it allow you to change game cards and system settings without having to reboot the unit?
