Nintendo dates the fourth iteration of the world's most-popular handheld...

Nintendo announced this morning that the DSi XL would launch in Europe on March 5th. The new handheld will be available to Europeans in a choice of two colours - wine red and dark brown.

As well as having screens 93% bigger than those of the DS Lite, the DSi XL also comes pre-loaded with various software, including A Little Bit of... Dr Kawashima's Brain Training: Arts Edition, Dictionary 6 in 1 with Camera Function, the DSi Web Browser and Flipnote Studio.

No price point has been revealed for the system, but it's expected to retail for a little more than the �139 standard DSi.

Don't forget! You can still be in with a shot of winning a DSi XL before its European date. Just head on over to the DSi-XL.co.uk competition page and vote for N-Europe!
