There's already JavaScript games for the DSi. A little late there, buddy. And they still work on the 3DS, what's more with stylus input. See: DSiCade

@GameFreakDude thanks for the heads-up. The stylus stuff is the easy bit - we're trying to get some fully button-operated games going and write a bit of a framework to make it easy for other people to develop games.

I'll have a poke around DSiCade - good shout.

@robvadeberg OH OK

[robvadeberg]

@damprumpan Yes; Javascript can not affect any computer or 3DS in any way.

[damprumpan]

@robvadeberg it's safe, right?

just making sure.

I'm a programmer myself, and I created a site with some of these Javascript games. Search for "3DSPlaza" on google.

@GameFreakDude

The 3ds Uses a completely different browser, so that might not be the case.
