Nintendo on the way of launching in US

Friday, February 20th, 2009

Nintendo is going to launch its latest version of the portable video game system in the United States. The expected date is April 5. The company will add 2 digital cameras to it and also an added feature of the ability to play with sound recordings.

The DSi that is at present available in its home country i.e. Japan will be costing $170 and will be available in 2 colors - black and blue. This is in fact the 3rd iteration of the most popular handheld gaming system on the planet. The DS Lite, its predecessor, comes at the cost of $130.

The new one that is going to be launched will be slimmer than the DS Lite, sports bigger screens and will include 2 digital cameras — one that will face outward and the other to point at the user when the device is flipped open. Nintendo likened them to a set of eyes.

The maker of Nintendo says, “If the touch screen gave Nintendo DS a sense of feel and the microphone allowed it to hear, the two cameras give DSi the sense of sight. With the use of the Nintendo DSi players can manipulate photos, mix all the images and even share them with friends.
The launch is announced when millions of people are turning to mobile games such as on the DS and on smart phones like Apple’s iPhone to themselves busy when free.
