Nintendo releases Facebook functionality for DSi in Japan

Update: The Facebook functionality has also been released in Europe, alongside a new version of the DSi firmware.

First announced at E3, Facebook compatibility for the DSi is now available – But only for Japan right now. Really, the service couldn’t be any easier to use on the DSi, although it will probably be considered limiting for consistent Facebook members.

Pictures can be chosen for upload in the DSi Camera application by clicking on a certain button. The images can then be sent to Facebook as soon as a user logs in. Unfortunately, that’s the only thing that can be done with the social networking site. It does not seem possible to delete any pictures sent from the DSi unless the user does so at a computer.
