Europe wins again: Nintendo has revealed that they'll be debuting the Nintendo DSi XL across the Atlantic on March 5.

The Nintendo DSi XL will boast dual 4.2-inch screens, which is 93% bigger than the screens on the Nintendo DS Lite (depicted above). Handheld gamers will also have a larger pen-like stylus to control.

Available in wine red and dark brown, the casing features a glossier top and matte finish on the underside, making the device easier to grip. The handheld device will also come with two pre-installed games: Dr. Kawashima's Little Bit of Brain Training: Arts Edition and Dictionary 6 in 1 with Camera Function.

Right now it's priced at £140 ($228) in the U.K., but we don't have any idea what it would cost in the U.S. yet since prices sometimes vary from country to country. It's also not clear as to when the DSi XL will arrive on our shores, but it's supposed to be some time in the first quarter.
