The speculation was true! Nintendo have been planning a camera DS!Nintendo just announced the Nintendo DSi at its fall presentation. While more details on the device come in by the minute, the Nintendo DSi is described by Nintendo as a "third platform". Another third pillar for Nintendo, meaning the DSi will be a complement to the existing Nintendo DS (Lite) instead of a replacement.
The Nintendo DSi is visually almost equaly to the Nintendo DS Lite, apart from a size decrease of 12 percent. This gain in portability is achieved by removing the GBA slot from the device. To compensate, the Nintendo DSi owns two 3.25 inch screens (compared to the original 3 inches) and two cameras.
More details on the DSi have arrived. Apparently, the DSi will feature an SD slot to store pictures (taken by your trusty included camera) on. Using the SD card it's possible to view your pictures on Wii. Next up is an included browser. The DSi features a built-in browser which can be used to, buckle up, download games from the DSi Shop. DSiWare games will be available for the wellknown points-system carrying a pricetage of "zilch", 200 points, 500 points and 800 points ("Premium titles"). New customers will get 1000 points for free to spend at the DSi Shop. The DSi will be released on November 1st in Japan and 2009 for the rest of the world
Games due out around launch: Valk Profile DS, Kirby (most likely SSU), Kyotaro, Rockman (most likely MMSF3), World Food, Phantasy Star Zero, Momotaro Dentetsu
Wow, incredible enough though, is the intriguing DSiware. This seems to be a virtual console for DS!
Maybe they'll use this release classic gameboy games! That's what I would get it for considering I've already got a camera.
Also announced at the conference:
- Nintendo will re-release Cube classics in a new ‘Enjoy with Wii selection’ lineup (YAY)
- Another Code for Wii
- Sin and Punishment 2 for Wii
- Punch-Out!! Wii confirmed
