Nintendo to support a strong strategy for DSi applications

A top-secret Nintendo Developer Conference was held in London. Sources which were fortunate enough to attend the event say that Nintendo has a plan to push developers in a way so that short applications (games/non-games) will be created for the DSi.

“Our team sees this as an exciting and major app strategy for the DSi…Nintendo is keen to have developers offering all kinds of software once the DSi store fully launches for access in Europe and America. Given the advanced functions in the DSi, such as the microphone and camera, the company told us that there are a variety of opportunities for a variety of apps, both in a games sense and a non-games sense, that we could offer.” – Developer sources
