Nintendo’s repackaging of its Nintendo DS handheld, the Nintendo DSi, has been given release dates outside of Japan.  Nintendo announced yesterday and this morning that North Americans can get their hands on a DSi this April 5, while Europeans can get theirs April 3, and Australians get it on April 2.

The Nintendo DSi is 12% smaller than the DS Lite, but features slightly larger screens.  The new package also boasts dual cameras — inside and out — as well as an SD memory card slot and new music playback features.

The Japanese market has been enjoying the DSi since November.
