14:06: From the "Nintendo DS Shop," you can download "Nintendo DS Ware." Software will be split into four categories: Free, 200, 500, Premium (800). And until March 2010, you'll get a free 1000 points (1000 yen or $10) when you buy a DSi.

wow.

 

[drohne]

how much is that in dollars?

by next year? probably $500

 

[Pai Pai Master]

should Sony just cancel PSP3000 later today? :lol

Yeah man, let's stop playing all other video games 'cuz this thing has 2 cameras.

If VC support is made up by some dumbass then this isn't quite as worthwhile.

Please someone confirm.

 

[Gribbix]

I'm assuming this iteration of the DS will actually include support for WPA2 especially since the Wii supports it.

 

[Deeku]

Import day 1

 

[DeathbyVolcano]

Guys, VC:

It has it's own Ware service. Not hard to believe there will be its on VC program as well.

I'd guess GB/GBC/GBA games.

 

[jeremy1456]

NONOONOO its got its own, not the Wii one.. My error!!!

:lol

You are going to get torched because few are smart enough to read all the posts in this thread and realize that it isn't true.

 

[Jonnyram]

Launch colours: white and matt black.
McDonalds will have a Nintendo Zone where you can go online.

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

So is the new DS supposed to be the 'better than a Hard Drive' feature NoA was talking about?

Portable Fridge does sound pretty nice.

Edit:

Oh. Nevermind.

 

[Ikopi]

It would be great if it had its own DS VC store, with only handheld titles from Lynx, GB, GBA, Game Gear, etc ...

 

[Zihark]

NEW ZELDA!!!!!! HOLY CRAP!!!!

Spoiler

I wish.

Oh this is evil-downright cruel-why

 

[NolbertoS]

should Sony just cancel PSP3000 later today? :lol

I doubt it, as much as I love my DS, the PSP is my RPG machine, with all those PSX games.

 

[Olaeh]

Import confirmed indeed. Hell, I'll buy 2. This made me spill my juice.

 

[FtsH]

still hope it has GPS............................................................

 

[alr1ght]

onboard memory?

 

[neo2046]

 

[Y2Kev]

So it isn't really a big enough leap to be a new platform but it's going to divide the userbase if they make games for both touchscreens.

and a 300k pixel camera is embarrassing

 

[perfectchaos007]

I'm starting to think this system is BC....with original DS games

I'm just speculating folks

 

[TekunoRobby]

by next year? probably $500

:lol

 

[Stormbringer]

I'm in the same boat as you guys. I'm very happy with my DS Lite, so I probably wasn't going to buy this until they announced dual touch-screens, and DS Ware (and possibly VC ?). Guess I'll just end up using my old ds Lite as a GBA Player...

 

[Papercuts]

I'm almost glad I still have my fat DS, I've wanted a lite for awhile but kept thinking a new one would be coming soon.

 

[viciouskillersquirrel]

NONOONOO its got its own, not the Wii one.. My error!!!

DSi HAS GBA/GBC/GB VC AND DSWARE AM CONFIRMED?

HOLY SHIT

 

[Ikopi]

onboard memory?

That's what I want to know too. Really important for the browser.

 

[Zerodoppler]

NEW ZELDA!!!!!! HOLY CRAP!!!!

Spoiler

I wish.

 

[drohne]

i wonder if nintendo will charge separately for the same game on wii and ds vc

oh wait, i guess i answered that question when i said 'nintendo'

[mj1108]

Oh Nintendo.... I'm there day 1.

50 million more sold confirmed.

 

[sprsk]

So, will there be games for DSi only? Or will any DS game do?

 

[OokieSpookie]

I was hoping the Camera would be more than 0.3 megapixels.

Me too, I was hoping for less toy and more multi purpose device like the rumors were saying.
Like serious ipod contender, with a good camera and some pda type apps on top of the ds goodies.

 

[Azar]

I didn't think there was anything that would make me feel inclined to update my DS. But if you can actually put VC games on it...damn.

It doesn't seem that that functionality is actually confirmed, though. You might just be able to buy new downloadable shit for it.

 

[gimz]

Dec 18!
i gotta ask my friend to ship me one of those (if they can manage to get one in Japan) x)

 

[Shiggie]

vroom vroom on my penis!!!

 

[Dabookerman]

Holy shit, This november. I'm gonna force my friend to buy me one that lucky so and so.

 

[Death_Born]

DSWARE?

 

[Jonnyram]

Mii on DS in Lifestyle Rhythm Calculator software.
Pedometer shown.

 

[PantherLotus]

i'll take the pre-sanded matte black thankyouverymcuh

 

[pakkit]

Set DS Ware prices, better organization than Wii.

 

[Thunder Monkey]

Ok... this little thing sounds badass.

 

[mysticstylez]

Nothing about it being more powerful?

 

[Pellham]

Who cares about the GBA slot at this point?

I know, seriously. I mean, most people who are going to buy this thing already have a DS or two.

 

[RBH]

DS Ware = Absolute win.

 

[Ikopi]

How much is 18900 yen compared to the price of the DS today in Japan?

 

[Patrick Klepek]

Where are people getting the idea of dual touch screens and VC support? I haven't seen that.

 

[Jiggy]

Edit: Disregard everything below, apparently it was fake. ;_; Preserving for posterity anyway.



62 games and counting on Wii VC, so if [it had been true that] DS support[ed] that (as opposed to just, say, GB and GBC games, which would still be awesome), [then] they [would ha]ve automatically sold me my third DS despite no GBA slot.

Assuming it [wouldn't have been] prohibitively expensive, anyway.

Shoot, if DS could [have] actually play[ed] Wii's VC games then I [would have] officially be[en] left turning that system (Wii) on for basically nothing, ever, except the shop channel and Gamecube compatibility. :lol As it stands right now, probably 98% of my time playing that system is spent on either Virtual Console or Mega Man 9 (which will come to a close as I finish all the challenges within my limitations).
