Local distributor Core has announced that the Nintendo DSi XL will hit local shelves in late April 2010.

The DSi XL features two 4.2 inch screens, and provides a 93% larger viewing area than the DS Lite.

Like the DS Lite, it makes use of a stylus pen in conjunction with its touch screen technology. Unlike the DS Lite’s stylus which is quite small, the XL features a much larger pen.

The DSi XL will be available in “wine red” and dark brown, with a glossy finish ordaining the top side of the device, and a mat finish on the bottom for improved grip when resting on surfaces.

The DSi XL comes with the following preinstalled: Dr Kawashima’s: Little Bit of Brain Training: Arts Edition and Dictionary 6 in 1 with Camera Function and the Nintendo DSi Browser.

Local pricing details are expected to become available by the end of the week.
