[Meier]

Amirox or others near the OP should be updating with info.

 

[Jonnyram]

There is no mention of VC so far. What are people talking about!?

Launch games: Valk Profile DS, Kirby, Kyotaro, Rockman, lots more (apparently).

 

[OokieSpookie]

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

Spoiler

I wish.

"Yea though I walk through the valley of death..."

 

[MoogPaul]

GIVE ME MOTHER 3 THROUGH DSWARE!!!!

 

[GhaleonQ]

*rain cloud moves over topic*

Since I'm not a tech geek, I probably won't buy this. I guess I don't understand why Virtual Console is so exciting, either. *waits patiently for games announcements*

?? Does this mean there is some kind of motion detection?

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.

Free DS Ware games?! Sweet!

 

[Ike]

black model please, I hope play-asia.com puts up the preorders for this soon because it's gonna sell out fast

Do they mention any sort of upgrade other than screen size?

 

[Ikopi]

From Kotaku:

There is a DSi Shop, which users can download DSiWare from as well. Pricing categories for the DSiWare are: Free, 200 points, 500 points and "Premium" or 800 points. Customers will get 1000 free points to spend at the DSi Shop that are good until March 2010.

Not too bad.

 

[Y2Kev]

the screens aren't that big anyway.

Do you really plan on using your DS camera exclusively to keep photos on your DS?

A 300k camera is something you'd get on a cell phone five years ago and you have to know this.

 

[PantherLotus]

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

+50

 

[Tenbatsu]

Both colours!!

[suaveric]

I am really shocked that this doesn't have any waggle built in to it. Especially after the iPhone.

 

[Willy Wanka]

They are obviously going to let people play DS-ware off of SD cards so will they now be doing the same for us Wii owners? I hope so.

 

[pakkit]

18,900.00 JPY

=

178.615 USD

If Nintendo of America rounds up instead of down, SHIT WILL GO DOWN.

 

[HK-47]

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

Agreed

 

[clashfan]

What about mp3 playback?

 

[Jonnyram]

More launch games: World Food, Phantasy Star Zero, Momotaro Dentetsu, etc.

 

[Android18a]

All it needs is Skype, and it's complete

 

[mCACGj]

Well that there company Apple is successful. Let's do what they're doing.

DS fit confirmed

 

[cvxfreak]

I am really shocked that this doesn't have any waggle built in to it. Especially after the iPhone.

This device just killed a lot of what set the iPhone apart from other Japanese cellphones, not that the iPhone was doing well there to begin with.

I find it amusing that Nintendo, who learned so much from Apple over the years, is now somewhat squaring off against its inspiration in the handheld realm.

 

[Ydahs]

Has it been confirmed that it has 2 touch screens?

 

[Zihark]

Another Kirby so soon or is this KUSS?

 

[Wario64]

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

People making shit up

 

[PantherLotus]

oh that phantasy star.

 

[sprsk]

More launch games: World Food, Phantasy Star Zero, Momotaro Dentetsu, etc.

I don't understand. PSZero is a DS game?

 

[kassatsu]

So I will have a mini-fridge I need to clean out when good stuff is released?

 

[legend166]

More launch games: World Food, Phantasy Star Zero, Momotaro Dentetsu, etc.

What do you mean when you say launch games?

 

[KevinCow]

Free DS Ware games?! Sweet!

Demos? Nintendo finally getting on that boat?

 

[Volcynika]

I don't understand. PSZero is a DS game?

Yes?

 

[pakkit]

More launch games: World Food, Phantasy Star Zero, Momotaro Dentetsu, etc.

World...food?


Holy shit @ Phantasy Star though.

 

[Jocchan]

All it needs is Skype, and it's complete

Basically.

 

[FtsH]

Do you really plan on using your DS camera exclusively to keep photos on your DS?

A 300k camera is something you'd get on a cell phone five years ago and you have to know this.

what else are you planning on using this camera? as you said we all have better cell phone cameras already.

 

[Tucah]

New Kirby?

I don't think they have Superstar Ultra yet, I think it's that.

 

[Htown]

This is apparently more of a DS-DSlite thing than GBA to DS.

More features, but no processing power increase.

 

[mj1108]

I am really shocked that this doesn't have any waggle built in to it. Especially after the iPhone.

They need to save something for another DS makeover.

 

[Ironballs]

 

[Stitch]

maybe nintendo will let us download GBA games :O

 

[Jonnyram]

?? Does this mean there is some kind of motion detection?

Pedometer is a separate device that was leaked in European news recently, but I think it's wireless?

Mario & Luigi 3!

 

[Ysiadmihi]

Are these "launch" games ONLY for DSi?

 

[OokieSpookie]

should Sony just cancel PSP3000 later today? :lol

Saddest part is that you probably typed that seriously...

 

[Firestorm]

This better not mean those are exclusives.

 

[Swisslink]

Still nothing for Wii and the first 30 minutes are over :/
Come on Iwata, stop talking about DSi xD

:O:O:O:O

Bring on NSMB2 now please.

 

[h3ro]

Jobs: Well that there company Nintendo is successful. Let's do what they're doing.

Fixed it for ya...

Holy shit so this is actually a new system, not a cosmetic upgrade? Is there a graphics upgrade??!?!

 

[Ikopi]

According to Kotaku, it will be a 3 megapixel camera, so better than the iphone one.

-edit- Kotaku can't count ...
