Preview: Compatible with the Nintendo DSi, has nice advanced menu features,  decent/timely open-source firmware/loaders, but lacking in game compatibility.

Come back soon for the full review.

Here’s Regigigas’ Information:
Level: 100
Poké Ball: Cherish Ball
Held Item: Custap Berry
Moves: Iron Head, Rock Slide, Icy Wind, Crush Grip

What’s most important is what it will do when you transfer it to Pokémon Platinum, due out in the U.S. on March 22nd.  If you have this Regigigas in your party at certain times, you may be able to find and capture the 3 Legendary Pokémon of the Regi Trio: Regirock, Regice, Registeel.

We’ve seen this Pokémon Diamond & Pearl beauty released in Japan almost two years ago.  Rumors now have it coming to GameStop in North America.  For $129.99 you get the Limited Edition DS Lite, a T-Shirt, 22 minute Pokémon Dungeon DVD, Grovyle Poster, and matching case.  I already own 2 DS Lites (Limited Edition Legend of Zelda Phantom Hourglass and a standard Onyx) but this one is REALLY tempting.

For those of you that already own a DS Lite and and are technically inclined, you could always buy a similar case from DealExtreme.  But I’ve seen the disassembly/reassembly documentation and it definately isn’t for the feint of heart.
