Nintendo Confirms First Nintendo DSiWare Titles
Nintendo is all set to launch their latest in handheld gaming, the Nintendo DSi on April 5, 2009 in the US. Nintendo gives portable gaming fans the ability to personalize and customize the Nintendo DSi.
Users can share their DSi experiences with their family and friends. The device features two built-in cameras and allows users to have fun with taking photos, and recorded sound slips can be tweaked and manipulated in different ways. Also on April 5, 2009, Nintendo will launch the Nintendo DSi Shop where users can download software such as innovative games and applications by redeeming their Nintendo DSi Points.
“The concept of entertainment is clearly expanding to enable self-expression and creation in ways never before possible,” noted Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America’s executive VP of Sales & Marketing. “Nintendo DSi is loaded with software to help people do exactly that. It’s not just about the cameras or audio playback, but what people can do with these features that makes Nintendo DSi such an enjoyable game system.”
The Nintendo DSi’s features also allow developers to create new games and applications which were not possible earlier and the Nintendo DSiWare enables users to get their hands on the latest handheld games from numerous development studios and from various genres. When the Nintendo DSi Shop launches, the Nintendo DSiWare titles which will be available are:
WarioWare Snapped: This title puts players in the heart of fast-paced mini-games, in which they have to “get a peek at Wario’s photo album” as the cock runs down.
Bird & Beans: Players must use an elastic-like tongue to gather falling beans.
Brain Age Express Math: Players are treated to new and existing Math training exercises. The game also features a new Themes mode.
Master of Illusion Express Funny Face: Users can use their DSi to conduct a card trick. They draw a face on the screen and this face tells the audience which playing card they have picked.
Art Style Aquia: This is an underwater puzzle game in which players must help a scuba diver reach the ocean floor by matching up a series of colored blocks.
Users can download the Nintendo DSi browser powered by Opera, for free. Also, consumers who buy the device and connect to the Nintendo DSi Shop by October 5, 2009 will automatically get 1,000 Nintendo DSi Points. Users can purchase the Nintendo DSi Points, in the Nintendo DSi Shop or via the Nintendo Points Card at retail outlets, in increments of 2000, at a maximum retail price of 19.99 USD (approx. Rs. 1000). In the US, the Nintendo DSi will be available in two colors, Blue and Black at an MSRP of 169.99 USD (approx. Rs. 8,525).
