Users can enter text through the keyboard or sending them handwrite message or drawing pictures through the stylus and touchscreen. There are only four chatrooms (A, B, C, D) which only can allow up to 16 peoples in each chatroom. On Nintendo DS and Nintendo DS Lite systems users can only write messages in black. However, the DSi and DSi XL includes a new function, letting users write in either black or rainbow colored pen. | ||

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.

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. | 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.
