The Nintendo DSi is the newest handheld console in the series of the Nintendo Dual Screen consoles. This Nintendo DSi is considered the seventh-generation gaming device and is often compared to that of the performance of the Sony handheld PSP. There are many newly introduced features in The Nintendo DSi. Few of these features consists of an in built music player known as the Nintendo DSi Sound. This music player plays sound files with the extension .mp4, .m4a, .3gp.

The Nintendo DSi unlike its predecessors is able to play music even when the console is closed. The Nintendo DSi also features a camera called the Nintendo DSi Camera. The photos taken via this camera can be easily edited and modified through an in built application in the DSi known as lenses. The photos that are snapped from this console can be edited and uploaded anywhere with much of ease. The Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection makes it simple for the Nintendo DSi to connect to the internet. This makes it simple to upload all your fun photos to any of the social network online and share a comment about it.
The Nintendo DSi can use an external storage device in its Slot 1 which can carry all the backup and other data. MicroSD cards are available for this feature. The R4i cards used along with these microSD cards enable a better gaming experience on the whole.
