New NintendoDS will have a browser and digital video capability
Wow….
The new DS will be lighter, brighter, and sleeker - but not only that. You’ll be able to buy a cartridge with the Opera web browser, and using Nintendo’s wifi, you’ll be able to browse the internet. This is really incredible - no other handheld or console system has implemented a web browser. They’ll also have a digital video add-on, and they’ve announced a broadcast service that will stream high definition video.
The DS already has cartridges available for learning various foreign languages, brain games, and the rich and artistic Electroplankton. What next?
Will interactive developers in the states be able to develop games for the DS now? Ones that leverage the stylus and voip? My niece just finished months of working with a virtual tutor online through Sylvan learning. I can just imagine similar implementations for the DS.
The system is launching in Japan on March 2nd. Gamermom can’t wait to hear how it is received!
Need more details now?
