Keynote Details Nintendo DSi News on Eve of Launch

SAN FRANCISCO, March 25, 2009 – Nintendo President Satoru Iwata today revealed surprises for consumers and an expanded palette of video game development opportunities for the industry during his keynote address at the Game Developers Conference. Iwata announced a new storage solution for Nintendo’s Wii™ home console and showed video highlights of a new Nintendo DS™ game from The Legend of Zelda™ franchise.

Video game developers now have expanded opportunities given that worldwide shipments for the Wii system surpassed 50 million units and worldwide shipments for the Nintendo DS franchise are at more than 100 million units.

Thanks to Jake for the news tip.


Even though Satoru Iwata’s GDC keynote was filled with great news for hardcore gamers, the Wii storage solution, VC Arcade, and even the announcement of a new Zelda is not the biggest news for today. According to Geoff Keighley, there is still one more surprise. As can be quoted by Mr. Keighley, the big surprise “comes later today.” For clarification purposes, know that this might not necessarily be related to Nintendo.
