The {{Translation|'''Nintendo DS<sup>i</sup>'''|ニンテンドーDSi}} is the renewal of the Nintendo DS that has been developed and manufactured by Nintendo. Consumer demand convinced Nintendo to produce a slimmer handheld with larger screens than the DS Lite. Consequently, Nintendo removed the Game Boy Advance (GBA) cartridge slot to improve portability without sacrificing durability. The development of the Nintendo DSi had been started around the release of the Nintendo [[Wii]] at the end of 2006. It has a another renewal known as the Nintendo DS<sup>i</sup> XL.
