3DS to feature NetFront browser, not Opera
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Unlike previous Nintendo systems, the 3DS will not make use of an Opera-supported browser. This time around Nintendo has opted to partner with Access to provide an Internet application for the handheld, which will make use of NetFront software. The PS3 and PSP are two other gaming systems which feature NetFront technology.
“ACCESS, an embedded software developer, will be providing the new web browser for the Nintendo 3DS, a portable game console launched by Nintendo in Japan on the 26th of February. Nintendo expects to provide the new internet functionality in May, through the distribution of a software update. The 3DS will be available for sale in the United States and Europe in March. ACCESS will be providing their NetFront browser, which has been adopted by more than a billion devices, including mobile phones and TV’s.” – Nikkei article
