What can you play with Nintendo DSi? With the Nintendo DSi you can PLAY GAMES, PLAY SOUND, PLAY PHOTOS, and PLAY the Nintendo DSi on the GO.
PLAY GAMES
The Nintendo DS Consoles family have been created to play games. There are hundreds of game titles already available. Not less than 853 games are now available. The number of the game titles will increase as game developers create new breed of games that make use of the Nintendo DSi features. There will be more games that use microphone, cameras, and other features of Nintendo DSi. The Nintendto DSi brings new experiences.
PLAY WITH SOUND
With Nintendo DSi, you don’t only play the games, but also play with sound. Even, the Nintendo DSi Sound application lets you do much more than playing songs. The application lets you record your sound, have fun with them, or play along with the music in new ways. (But sound and files from SD card that have been edited are not saved.)
Nintendo DSi plays songs in AAC file format only. But you can apply one of four different filters to the songs in your playlist. For example, with Intsrumental filter, you can strip out vocal on a song, or with other filter you can make your song sound like an 8-Bit Game.
You can also apply the filters on sound clips you have recorded. Even you can apply one of twelve fun filters. In this case you can save your altered creation as a new sound.
Interestingly, the pitch and speed of any sound – recorded sound or song – can be changed independently. Let say you are practicing to play a guitar, then you slow down a guitar solo so you can try and play along. Or you speedup a podcast to get the good part faster. What you have to do is dragging your stylus on the grid to change the pitch and speed of any sound.
Your songs in AAC file format saved on your SD Card (sold separately) can be loaded and played on your Nintendo DSi system. While playing the songs, you can add your own pre-recorded sounds on top to your favorite songs. Even you can play with speed and pitch control or add filters. It will add something extra to your songs. Add an extra kick to yours listening session by using the L and R Buttons to cycle through the fun sounds.
The Nintendo DSi will be your songs player anywhere. Insert a headphone and fold the Nintendo DSi system closed to listen to your favorite songs. Listen to your play list in order or shuffle it.

PLAY WITH FRIENDS
Some Nintendo DS Consoles games features multiplayer game play. The games are played by some users using wireless connection, whether local wireless or Wi-Fi connections. There are two kinds of local wireless game play: DS Download Play and Multi-Card Play. The DS Download Play requires that only one player has a copy of game. On the other hand, the Multi-Card Play requires that all players have their own copies of games on each Nintendo DS system. The Multi-Card Play usually give players more game options than on DS Download Play.
Nintendo DS Consoles also features Wi-Fi connection. (Wi-Fi is the standard wireless connection – also used in computers networking.) Players can go to an official Nintendo hotspot (a location with Wi-Fi connection) and immediately go online and start playing. You can also use Wi-Fi at your home, but you must configure your DS system to connect to your routers. What you have to do are entering the router’s network ID and optional security key.
