Posted by x3sphere at October 1, 2008, 11:18 pm
During Nintendo’s pre-TGS presser in Japan, company president Satoru Iwata unveiled the third generation Nintendo DS. Dubbed DSi, it is 12 percent thinner in form factor, features a built-in 0.3 megapixel camera, as well as an SD card slot for storing applicable media on. Photos taken with the camera can be transferred straight to the Wii Photo Channel.
In addition to a slightly larger 3.25 inch screen, the DSi will feature a built-in internet browser, along with a DSi shop. DS Ware will be available from the shop, with pricing for titles ranging from 200 to 800 Nintendo Points, previously known as Wii Points.
The DSi will cost 18900 yen (roughly $179) and is scheduled to hit Japan on November 1. A release in North America and Europe is planned for “next year.”
