An RPG called Foto Fighter, being made by Konami, has been announced for a January 2010 release. This game is a DSi ONLY game (not a DSiWare release either, mind you) and it takes advantage of the DSi Camera, as the title suggests.

The game's color-shape recognition program allows you to convert images your DSi Camera is focused on into one of 120 possible monsters. From there, you can control them in a Dragon Quest/Pokemon-esque fashion, carrying up to six monsters in your team at once.

This game subtly declares that the DSi is no longer a new version of the DS, but is instead its own series of handheld.

That sounds epic. I will so be getting that!

Glad to see that the DSi wasn't a pointless purchase too, I almost didn't buy it, considering I already have a DSlite but this makes me glad that I did.

Now my DSi can be something other than a replacement for my Lite (the hinge is completely screwed). DSiWare's generally a bit rubbish, but a full game could be quite good!

I'll still hold off on a DSi until a DSi exclusive Mario/Pokémon game that interests me comes out.

Ya but it's only an exclusive because it uses the camera I doubt this means we'll get future games exclusive to the DSi except for DSi ware of course.

Yeah im waiting till it gets to under 150$ (can) or before HG ans SS come out

$150!? It was released here at £150, which (according to XE) is $250! I guess we got a bad deal then.

It was released in canada at 200$ which is 400$ and a little bit in euros
