Nintendo has just confirmed that they will be launching a larger DSi. Set for a launch later this year, the DSi LL will be hitting Japan in under a month - November 28th to be exact. Nintendo will be launching the same gaming handset in Europe in Q1 2010, but as the Nintendo DSi XL. The DSi LL / DSi XL will feature dual 4.2-inch displays and the same ports from the original DSi. The trade-off for the dual-screen is that it will weigh 100 grams more than the original DSi (now 314 grams) and the measurements are 161 x 91.4 x 21.2 mm. The battery will supposedly last 4 to 5 hours on maximum brightness or 13 to 17 hours when you dim the screen a bit.
Anyways, in Japan we're hearing that it'll be available for ¥20,000 ($220 USD). Yes, this handheld's launch date in North America hasn't been mentioned yet. Nintendo will be launching it in three colours: Wine Red (above), Dark Brown (below), and Natural White (self-explanatory).
Update: It will also be headed to North America as the Nintendo DSi XL, according to Kotaku. It'll be available in early (Q1) 2010.
