As revealed earlier this month, some of the more integral aspects to the 3DS’ online experience – such as the eShop and built-in browser – will arrive post-launch. In a recent financial results briefing, company president Satoru Iwata gave a timeframe for the eventual rollout: May. In late May, nearly two months after the initial launch, Nintendo plans on deploying […]
Are you a DSi adopter considering a 3DS purchase? This should put your mind at ease, especially if you’ve invested heavily in DSiWare: a just-released spec sheet from Nintendo indicates that digital wares can be transferred over to 3DS from a DSi or DSi XL. While Nintendo offered up no details on how this will actually work, chances are a firmware […]
Studio Pixel’s exploration-heavy platformer Cave Story seems like the perfect fit for DS, or DSiWare to be more specific. It’s time to rejoice, as according to a table of contents list scanned in from the latest issue of Nintendo Power magazine, the title is indeed DSiWare bound. Apart from the ToC, scans of said magazine have yet to hit the scene, […]
Nintendo’s approach to digital distribution is one of mixed opinions. While there’s no shortage of content on the company’s DSiWare and WiiWare services, the available offerings aren’t exactly promoted well. Browsing store pages on either service is nowhere as intuitive as it is on Xbox Live or PSN, at least in our experience. Not one to shy away from its […]

Saturnine Games today let us know that its 2D shoot em’ up Cosmos X2 is slated to hit Nintendo’s DSiWare service. A horizontal-scrolling space shooter, the title […]
Namco Bandai today announced that Mr. Driller’s DSiWare outing is headed stateside. Entitled Mr. Driller: Drill Till You Drop, this localized release is essentially a straight port of its Japanese counterpart, released shortly following the DSi’s debut last year. Featured are a number of additions that extend and enhance the frantic block-busting experience, including a Dristone mode in which players […]

The DSi LL is heading to North American and Europe under a slightly more identifiable moniker — the DSi XL. XL, obviously standing for extra large. Official word from Nintendo is that the unit will offer a screen 93% larger than the current DS Lite, coupled with a better view angle, a jumbo-sized stylus, and unspecified preinstalled Nintendo DSiWare software. […]
In a press release detailing its holiday lineup, Nintendo revealed that DS title The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks is on track for a December 7 release in North America. While story details are still shrouded in mystery, the title features an cel-shaded art style fondly reminiscent of Phantom Hourglass. Apart from the added element of stylus driven controls, gameplay […]
Nintendo may have plans to position the DSi platform as more than a mere enhancement over previous DS hardware iterations with rumors cropping up that titles exclusive to DSi will hit retail channels later this fall. They’ve already done this to a certain extent with DSiWare, but the digital market is still small potatoes compared to retail.
Nintendo of Europe today released the full list of titles it plans to release over the forthcoming spring and summer months, leading up to July. Notables on the WiiWare front include Cave Story and Crystal Defenders. DSiWare has its fair share of titles incoming as well, including Mighty Flip Champs and Brain Training. Titles on Nintendo Download are not always […]
