Nintendo DSi cracked open

Nintendo’s DSi has finally arrived in Japan, and as with many curious gadgets, certain folks cannot be stopped from dissecting and inspecting the hardware. Impress Watch is one such curious cat, and they’ve got pictures to show for it. So what’s new with this third-gen handheld? Check them out at the full article.

With the DSi launched in Japan over the weekend, it’s no surprise that curious folks would want to dissect and inspect the new Nintendo handheld right to its bare bones. Watch Impress is one such curious folk, and they’ve got pictures to show for it.

The most obvious additions to Ninty’s third-gen handheld would be the refined stereo speakers and slightly larger LCD screens. However, a bit harder to find and more significant would be the DSi CPU stamped with “TWL” for the revision identifier. This one’s got a chip finalization date of 2007. The original DS and the Lite versions have CPUs produced in 2004.

Go take a gander yourself at the innards of the new DSi. More pictures can be found at Impress Watch which we’ve sourced below.
