Nintendo DSi in Japan tomorrow, elsewhere by next summer
Nintendo’s new model of its Nintendo DS handheld, the DSi, is being released to Japan tomorrow. The rest of the world will see it sometime in 2009, probably by the summer, according to Reuters.
“Specific plans will be unveiled by our local subsidiaries, but an autumn or year-end launch would probably be too late,” said Nintendo president Satoru Iwata.
The Nintendo DSi is an update to the DS Lite model, and will feature a smaller casing, larger screens, dual cameras and music playback.

Nintendo has shipped 200,000 units of the system to prepare for tomorrow’s launch, and has 100,000 more lined up.
