Strange pricing situation with the 6 in 1 Dictionary with Camera Function
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 0 comments
Remember the European/Australian DSiWare update last night? When we posted the news, the 6 in 1 Dictionary with Camera Function tool had a price of 800 points. Strangely though, now that’s been changed to 500 points. Here’s the thing: Some DSi owners have already downloaded the application for 800 points and have not received a refund for the extra 300 that they paid for. Sounds like something odd is going on, doesn’t it?
Thanks to Johannes for the news tip!

Nintendo not so thrilled with this new iPhone app
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 4 Comments
Update: Looks like Nintendo has already removed the app from the iPhone store. Nintendo provided a statement about the situation below:
“Nintendo respects the intellectual property rights of other companies, and in turn expects others to respect ours as well. Nintendo did seek the removal of this application as we vigorously protect against infringement of our intellectual property rights.”
A new application is up for download for the iPhone, which replicates almost all functions of a DS system. While no ROMs can be loaded (which would probably end up being the biggest appeal of the tool), the DS DoubleSys performs almost as if you have the handheld right on Apple’s device. Users can manipulate a DS in a 3D environment, change the color, and even go through the system OS. The developer is looking to implement new features in a future update such as the being able to use the microphone, but it wouldn’t be surprising if Nintendo were to shut down the project in the very near future.
