Very few games, if any, will be DSi exclusive except for downloadable titles.

Developers aren't stupid enough to ignore 100+ million DS owners.

The DSi doesn't offer any extra power for games anyway, so unless an entire game revolves around the camera, there's no reason to only put it on the DSi.

The DS and the DSi are the exact same as far as power for games goes.

What are you basing this off of?

Wrong. Although all the details are still scarce, the best information out there is that the DSi has a significantly upgraded CPU (133mhz confirmed, although the exact type and other matters are still up for debate), and there's no question at all about the fact that it has 4x the ram, which is clearly something from which games could greatly benefit.

Yeah that's great and puppies are cute.

The extra power is for the apps and other cool DSi stuff.

It does nothing for the games.

Note: The ARM9 Processor is clock at 133Mhz vs. 67Mhz of the DSlite...

And just because existing DS titles won't use the extra power, that doesn't mean that future titles cannot. I suppose you believe that the ARM7 chip runs the GBA slot and the ARM9 runs the DS? They have to make specific titles to utilize the extra power...All the system does is utilize the chip at 67 and 4 mb of RAM...Ugg....Remove head from sphincter then post!~

From what I heard, that walking game was going to be a DSi Exclusive, but they wanted to release it early and thought it would be too quick to start releasing DSi exclusive titles just yet.

I wish Walk With Me would have at least been DSi enhanced. Because I'm using the DSi's enhanced WPA encryption I am unable to use some of the features. Here's it's the first new 'game' I've purchased since getting the DSi, and I still can't access all of it. Way to go Nintendo.

I totally agree on the WPA encryption issue. In my opinion that's what they have to solve quickly.

This is all very nice.

I'm glad you took the time to type all this up.

Feel free to contact me once you find a DSi game not possible on regular DS hardware.
