DS Web Browser Gets European Launch
October 9th, 2006
In an unusual move, Nintendo has launched its DS Browser in Europe, while continuing to neglect the USA.
The DS Browser, developed by Opera, has been available in Japan for half a year. It comes in the form of a cartridge that plugs into the DS. There are two varieties - one for the standard DS and one for DS Lite.
Nintendo claims that any web page can be displayed, although there is no Flash capability yet. Pages can be viewed in a single column, spreading across both screens, or in ‘DS mode’ where the entire page is shown on the bottom screen, with a zoomed-in section on the top.
The Opera Browser for the DS and DS Lite is priced at £29.99 (about $56) in the UK and across Europe at €39.99 (around $50).
