We all know that the DSi will sell like hotcakes but what you may not know is that the system has many features you may have missed. Below is a list of 7 features that may have gone overlooked by the gaming public but will play an iatrical part of the DSi system. So, without further ado, here is the list:

The first overlooked feature of the DSi system is the inclusion of WPA/WPA2 support. No longer will gamers have to resort to dropping the security of our wireless routers to play some Mario Kart DS matches or trade items on Castlevania titles.

The second feature is the modification of the volume adjuster. It will be replaced with a “rocker” switch similar to the Gameboy Micro. It has also been moved to the left hand side of the DSi.

The third feature is the availability of the infamous Brain Age titles at launch. The will be released as ““Literature” and “Science” editions.

The fourth feature will feature built-in software called Moving Notebook. This software allows the user to create small animated memos, as well as use the internal mic for adding audio. This enw feature is probably my favorite out of the 7 and I cannot wait to test it out!

The fifth feature is the availability of various DSi sound visualizers. While I haven’t seen any cool looking laser beams or volcanic colors flashing around similarly to Windows Media Player or iTunes, the DS will “sport” cute animations such as chicks hatching from eggs or the Excitebike man jumping ramps.

The sixth feature is an additional brightness setting. The DSi will now have five different brightness settings compared to the DSLite handheld’s four settings.

The seventh feature is shorter charge time. The DSi will take only 2.5 hours for a full charge compared to the original DSLite’s 3 hour battery charge (Not a huge change but a welcome change non-the-less).
