Developer Says DS And DSi Aren't As Similar As You Think

Speaking to Pocket Gamer, an obviously-doesn't-want-to-be-named "developer" has said there may be a problem or two regarding DS/DSi compatibility. This developer, you see, is currently developing a game for the DS. Their game obviously runs just fine on DS, but on the DSi, it keeps freezing up, and as a result is stuck in development limbo, Nintendo refusing to certify it. Nintendo, predictably, are saying "All DS titles are compatible with DSi", but if a game in development will run on DS but not DSi, might there be some finished games that run into problems as well?

I got a feeling that the DSi might hurt nintendo. if you ask me Nintendo could get another 2-4 years more out of the DS.

I heard they are still going to sell the DS along side with the DSi, but I don't really see a point in having a DSi since Mp3 players and digicams that are low quality cost about $10-50 , or you can just get a $100 or more cell phne.

yeah, so Nintendo must have something up their sleeve to install these useless features.

I think people who are not very into gaming will like these features. I recommend people buy a DS lite instead. If people need a digicam and MP3 player that is portable then buy a Mp3 player and Camera.
