The Nintendo DSi is the third model in the Nintendo DS family. It was announced by Nintendo on October 2, 2008. It is brighter, thinner, and lighter than the DS Lite, due to the Game Boy Advance slot being removed, which caused a lot of disappointment when it came out. One internal camera and one external camera was added, along with music playback functions, larger screens, an SD Card slot, and the Nintendo DSi Shop, a digital storefront similar to the Wii Shop Channel.

The Nintendo DSi XL, titled Nintendo DSi LL in Japan is a larger var and the brightest, heaviest, and largest of the four models. It has a longer battery life, better viewing angles, and a shiny surface with a matte underside for better gripping. Some models are included with two games: Brain Age Express Math, and Brain Age Express Reading. It also comes with a larger and thicker version of the stylus. Like its predecessor, the Nintendo DSi XL is not backwards compatible with Game Boy Advance games.
Games[]
While no Mario-related game cards exclusively compatible for the Nintendo DSi have been released, several games and applications known as DSiWare could be bought off the Nintendo DSi Shop using Nintendo DSi Points, similar to Wii Points.
