“Technically possible” to bring Skype to the DSi
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 2 Comments
“Skype’s growth strategy is focused on product enhancements that will increase user delight, engagement, and adoption of paid services. This includes extending the Skype infrastructure and platform to bring Skype functionality wherever, whenever, and on whatever device or site people choose to use it. Skype is extending its lead with a focus on rapid innovation, which delivers the new features and products people want, and by integrating Skype software and services into other open platforms with recent examples including the Skype application for the iPhone and iPod Touch, Intel-based MIDs, Nokia N97, and a Lite version of Skype for Java-enabled mobile phones. Whilst we can’t comment on any future plans to bring Skype to Nintendo’s DSi, it would technically be possible.” – Skype rep
I think it’s more than possible that we’ll see Skype on the DSi sometime in the future. Satoru Iwata has said in the past he wouldn’t mind giving the DS a phone if users would not be forced into paying fees. Skype may very well be the perfect way to accomplish that.

Capcom says “stay tuned” for Gyakuten Kenji localization news
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News | 1 Comment
“Capcom USA are huge fans of the Ace Attorney series, and would love to be able to bring it over. Stay tuned…” – Seth Killian, Sr. Manager, Community
I think it’s a pretty surefire bet that Gyakuten Kenji will arrive in North America. There was a trademark found for the title as “Ace Attorney Investigations,” so I think it’s just a matter of when Capcom officially announces that they’re bringing the game to the states.
