DSiWare Japanese Overview

DSiWare preview of the launch line up of games.

Excerpt from Nintendo press release regarding DSiWare from their Autumn Confernce...

To make it truly your own DS, you can download and store new software through DSi Shop. This is similar to the Wii Shop Channel mechanism. With these functionalities, DSi owners will be able to download the software they would like to enjoy and carry around with them on their own DSi.

As the very first software title to be offered through DSi Shop, Nintendo will start distributing the DSi Browser free of charge simultaneously with the launch of DSi. The DSi Browser is an Internet browser, co-developed by Opera and Nintendo and comprehensively tuned exclusively for Nintendo DSi. This tuning made the browser faster, and now that it can be incorporated into the device, the utility aspect has been significantly enhanced.

Furthermore, when we enabled faster communications for the DSi Browser and DSi Shop, we also achieved faster Wi-Fi communications for Nintendo DSi. When you use the Wi-Fi function of existing Nintendo DS software, the speed does not increase. However, for software specifically made for Nintendo DSi, it is possible to realise faster communications.

As the second software to be downloaded free of charge through the DSi Shop, Moving Notepad will launch this year. Moving Notepade enables users to create hand-written memos. Of course, I am not talking about an ordinary notepad. For example, you can create cut-off animations, and this cut-off animation can talk. You create this talking cut-off animation by utilising the microphone to record voices.

And, at the end of this year, we will begin offering the download sales service of Nintendo DSiWare through DSi Shop. The Nintendo DSiWare can be categorized into roughly 4 categories: Other than DSi Browser and Moving Notepad and other software that Nintendo offers free of charge, there will be DSiWare200 that you can purchase for 200 Points, DSiWare500 for 500 Points and DSiWarePremium that requires 800 Points or more. For DSiWare200, we are planning to offer very compact utility types of applications and small games, and for DSiWare500, simple puzzle games and other, more sophisticated utility applications.

[Dilster7000]

What!!??? They Sell in Japan 5000 Point Cards?

[ninjapokemaster]

Well i've gotta disagree with you, i've got warioware too, and its fun when it works- but atleast for my copy you need to light up the room with a blowtorch and use loads of face-paint. :*

[ojtheomega]

Dude, Warioware is awesome. And you don't need a greenscreen, I play it all the time in a regular non-lit room with white walls- and yes, I'm white. The game rocks. However I know it was a month ago but bird N beans was around then... that was the greatest game then.... for only 2 bucks! What was mamaluigi417 thinking!

[gtas123]

Nope sorry dude.. Sadly I tried that and it didnt work.

[gtas123]

The moving memo app comes out jut in the end of june think. BUT I ALSO THINK ITS WORTH THE WAIT :D

[Sylverstone14]

it'll be a while until the DSi Shop hits its stride.... Me and my cousin were wondering if they could upgrade the browser to play YouTube vids and other Flash-related items...... It would be greatly needed in some way. And how long do I have to wait until the Moving Memo app comes out in the US?

[WiiloveitTV]

Didn't think it would work, thanks for the confirmation.
