It keeps the layout of the regular DSi, including two cameras, an SD card slot and volume buttons, but stretches both screens to 4.2 inches. That size makes text-heavy games such as Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, Professor Layton and the Curious Village and Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies much easier to read. The larger body also sits steadily on a table, which suits touch-based games like Picross DS. It charges with the same adapter style as the DSi and the 3DS family.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c!-- rgm:story --\u003e\u003csection class=\"rgm-v2-story\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat the DSi XL plays\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DSi XL runs Nintendo DS game cards, including DSi-enhanced titles that add camera features, and the small group of DSi-exclusive cards. It does not have the Game Boy Advance slot found on the original DS and DS Lite, so GBA cartridges and DS accessories that used that slot, such as the Guitar Hero: On Tour grip, will not work. It cannot run Nintendo 3DS game cards either. The DSi Shop has closed, so new downloads are no longer available, but the built-in camera and sound apps still work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c!-- rgm:story --\u003e\u003csection class=\"rgm-v2-story\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBuying a used DSi XL\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDSi XL systems on the market today are more than fifteen years old, so the hinge, the shoulder buttons and the charging port are the first places to look on a used one. Because the screens are large, marks from a stylus or from closing the lid show more easily. This listing covers the handheld only, and the stylus, charger, SD card and any games vary by unit. They are included only when the listing title says so, and the photo shows a representative DSi XL.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c!-- rgm:details --\u003e\u003csection class=\"rgm-v2-facts\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct facts\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eHardware\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNintendo DSi XL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePlatform\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNintendo DS\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eType\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHandheld console\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePlays\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNintendo DS and DSi game cards\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eConnections\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCharges with a Nintendo DSi, 3DS or 2DS AC adapter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eScreens\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTwo 4.2-inch screens\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eUS launch\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2010\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"rgm-v2-faq\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about this item\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eCan the DSi XL play Game Boy Advance or 3DS games?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. It plays Nintendo DS game cards and DSi-enhanced or DSi-exclusive cards only.
