Hasta La Gadget!

\Nintendo has just released details on the forthcoming update to its popular handheld gaming platform: The Nintendo DSi XL will go on sale in the U.S. on March 28 and have a list price of $189.99. The DSi XL’s screens are 93% larger than those of its predecessor, the DSi, and it offers a wider viewing angle. It’ll come with two styli: the typical small stylus that slots into the device but also a larger “pen” stylus, which is easier to grip.

The DSi will be sold preloaded with several titles, including Brain Age Express: Arts & Letters,  Brain Age Express: Math, and Photo Clock. It comes in either Burgundy or Bronze. Upcoming titles for the device are America’s Test Kitchen: Let’s Get Cooking and WarioWare: D.I.Y, among others; those two will launch on March 28 as well.

Look for a hands-on report, complete with slideshow, with the new DSi XL at midnight EST tonight on PCMag.com.

Update: According to Bloomberg News, the DSi XL will also include a book reader when it ships:

The player, which has a larger screen than the company’s current model, will double as an electronic reader when Nintendo introduces “100 Classic Books” in June, Cammie Dunaway, executive vice president of sales and marketing for North America, said today at an event in San Francisco.
