* Nintendo DSi announcement

Posted on October 2nd, 2008 by Steve. Filed under Gaming News.


Posting right after the news broke on the DSi specs, so just some quick first impressions:

  • The camera isn’t anything new folks, remember the GameBoy camera?  Too bad it doesn’t come with a tiny thermal printer.  ;)  Still very interested in what gameplay options open up… definitely excited about the possibility of an augmented reality game.
  • No GBA slot, so does that mean no Guitar Hero?
  • Sound editing features… moar lifestyle apps.  Why hasn’t Rosetta Stone released DS software?
  • DSWare was a logical next step, but given the amount of shovelware on the DS, I’m wondering what the quality will be like.  Capcom:  Mega Man 9 on DSWare NOW!
  • Dual touch might fragment the market, no?  Will games have ‘classic’ and ‘i’ modes?
  • DS/Wii linking, how about Four Swords 2?  (or would that be 6 swords?)

Looks like that’s about it for DSi news.  One last comment… WiiWare DL to SD card, it’s about time!
