Wait…!?
I know it’s almost universally ignored & generally not cared about but still…
What about the E-reader!?

@ SP – technically the eReader is a GBA game, so it would fall into the large list of GBA games that will not be playable on the DSi by cartridge. This above list is of actual DS games.

errm, The DSi has a web browser. So the Opera browser isnt a big deal.

Oh… OK… I just thought that since the MP3 Player was on there as well as the Famicom Game Adapter that’s more or less just a simple mod of the GBA Famicom Adapter (And can be used with the GBA SP) that the E-reader was kinda along those lines as well…

@ Harry – yep, that’s what I said.
@ SP – I see. I was not familiar with that, as they were already on the list. But that makes sense.

[...] This is what has me the most excited about the DSi, and could very well be the reason a lot of current DS and DS Lite owners switch to the new version. Downloadable games, music playback, and picture storage are the main additions that go along with the SD card slot. Don’t worry though; the DSi also has 512MB of internal memory as well. So going over the limit on your card won’t cause a state of panic. The drawback is the DSi will no longer be backwards compatible. [...]
