The '''{{wp|Nintendo DSi}}''' is the third model of the [[Nintendo DS]] family, announced on October 2, 2008. It is thinner and lighter than its predecessor, the [[nwiki:Nintendo DS Lite|Nintendo DS Lite]], with the [[Game Boy Advance]] slot being removed. However, this means that the Nintendo DS [[nwiki:Rumble (feature)#Nintendo DS|Rumble Pak]], which was used with titles such as ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', cannot be used. Two cameras, music playback functions, Wi-Fi, internet browser, larger screens, and a Wii-like channel interface were added. The Nintendo DSi has sold 28.44 million units, while the DSi XL sold 12.93 million units as of September 2014.<ref>{{cite|deadlink=y|archive=web.archive.org/web/20141029173642/http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/library/historical_data/pdf/consolidated_sales_e1409.pdf|format=PDF|title=Nintendo Co., Ltd. Consolidated Sales Transition by Region|publisher=Nintendo|language=en|accessdate=May 31, 2024}}</ref> The DSi is also able to download games from the Nintendo DSi Shop ([[DSiWare]]), stored on an [[nwiki:SD Card|SD Card]] or in internal memory. As with the [[Wii]] and [[Nintendo 3DS]], one block of storage is 128 KB and SD cards are natively supported up to 32 GB SDHC, so a 32 GB SD card at full capacity would be converted internally by the Nintendo DSi as 262,144 blocks. The DSi's front has a camera lens, and another, smaller lens is located where the mic was positioned on the Lite, allowing for photos to be taken with the DSi open.<ref>{{cite|deadlink=y|archive=web.archive.org/web/20090219091810/http://www.nintendo.com//whatsnew//detail//Q5D4ti_bPqJO_I0Oup0AMFudaUOLz6C7|title=Nintendo DSi launches April 5 in the United States|date=February 18, 2009|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|accessdate=May 31, 2024}}</ref>

A special, limited edition DSi was sold on Black Friday of 2009 (November 27) in the United States only. It was available in Metallic Blue and came preinstalled with five ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' software for the system, including ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!]]'', ''[[WarioWare: Snapped!]]'', ''[[Dr. Mario Express]]'', ''[[Mario Calculator]]'', and ''[[Mario Clock]]''.<ref>{{cite|author=Wahlgren, Jon|date=November 24, 2009|url=www.nintendolife.com/news/2009/11/nintendo_preloading_dsis_for_black_friday|title=Nintendo Preloading DSi's For Black Friday|publisher=Nintendo Life|accessdate=May 31, 2024}}</ref> Two more limited-edition colors were sold on Black Friday of 2010 (November 26) in the United States: orange and green, each bundled with ''[[Mario Party DS]]''.<ref>{{cite|author=Newton, James|date=November 22, 2010|url=www.nintendolife.com/news/2010/11/limited_edition_orange_and_green_dsis_spice_up_black_friday|title=Limited Edition Orange and Green DSis Spice Up Black Friday|publisher=Nintendo Life|accessdate=May 31, 2024}}</ref>

The Nintendo DSi was released in China by [[iQue]], where it is branded '''iQue DSi'''. ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' was a candidate for being a pre-installed game on the system, along with ''[[nwiki:Nintendogs|Nintendogs]]'', which iQue decided upon instead.<ref>{{cite|url=www.chuapp.com/2016/06/23/251190.html|title=《记录》第17期：神游中国（下）|language=zh-hans|publisher=Chuapp|accessdate=May 31, 2024|date=June 23, 2016}}</ref> ''New Super Mario Bros.'' was released physically for the iQue DS in July 2009, 5 months before the release of the iQue DSi.

Certain games are compatible with [[Nintendo DS]], but have enhanced performance if ran on a Nintendo DSi. ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem!]]'' is the only game of the ''Super Mario'' franchise of this status. Such games can utilize {{wp|Wi-Fi Protected Access|WPA}} and {{wp|Wi-Fi Protected Access#WPA2|WPA2}} wireless standards as the original Nintendo DS can utilize {{wp|Wired Equivalent Privacy|WEP}} standard only.<ref>{{cite|deadlink=y|archive=web.archive.org/web/20101017102515/http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/wfc/en_na/ds-security.jsp|title=Nintendo DS and wireless security compatibility (WEP & WPA)|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|accessdate=May 31, 2024}}</ref> One way to tell if a game is DSi-enhanced is the 10-character game ID divided by two dashes on the cartridges, located on the bottom-right of each label.

==Nintendo DSi XL==
The '''Nintendo DSi XL''' ('''DSi LL''' in Japan) is a revision model of the DSi. It includes larger screens with a diagonal of 107 mm (4.2 inches) (93% bigger than the DS Lite and the regular DSi's screen). The size and weight are increased accordingly so that the new model weighs 50% more than the DSi. According to reports, Nintendo wants to aim the new version to older gamers who might have trouble seeing the screen of a regular DS model.<ref>{{cite|url=www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/22627/nintendo-dsi-xl-hitting-north-america-in-march|author=Kaluszka, Aaron|date=February 24, 2010|publisher=Nintendo World Report|language=en|accessdate=May 31, 2024}}</ref>

==Notes==
*Budgy, a parakeet character from the Nintendo DSi, has a phrase about [[Princess Peach]] infiltrating a castle in the DSi Sound application.
*If the player records a sound and waits, the ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' theme starts playing using the recorded sound as instrument.
