The {{Translation|'''Nintendo DSⁱ'''|ニンテンドーDSi}} is the renewal of the Nintendo DS that has been developed and manufactured by Nintendo.

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 DSⁱ XL.
