Rumor: First DSi-specific games coming this fall, have unique packaging
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 1 Comment
Remember when Nintendo said earlier this year that specific games would be released for the DSi? Well, apparently that’s going to happen sooner than we first thought. Sources have told Kotaku that DSi-only titles will begin to hit stores this fall.
However, unlike DS/DS Lite products, DSi games will arrive in their own packaging with completely white coloring (including the card itself). DSi titles will also carry a sticker to warn consumers that they will not work with the original DS/Lite. For now, it’s not clear if developers will be able to utilize some of the added upgrades over Nintendo’s previous handhelds for DSi games and at this time, Nintendo has yet to respond to any of the speculation.

Nintendo Power’s “major” DSi title may be a new Shantae game
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, Rumors | 2 Comments
As was posted a few days ago, Nintendo Power is teasing a “major” DSi title, which will be unveiled in the November issue. There hasn’t been much to go on, but now it appears that a new Shantae game may be the secret. Over at their Twitter, Way Forward posted, “Nintendo Power teasing a MAJOR DSiWare release in the next issue? AND it will make many gamers “very, very happy”? Hmmm.”
This still doesn’t prove anything of course. Right now, it still hasn’t been confirmed that the Twitter mentioned is the official account for the company. However, gamers know that WayForward has been teasing a new Shantae game over the past few months and DSiWare would make a perfect home for the series.

“All for one and one for all” is an apt way to describe the latest lineup of downloadable games from the Wii™ Shop Channel and Nintendo DSi™ Shop. Each of this week’s new titles is a single-player affair, but they’re all quite different in genre and style, offering something special for a variety of gaming tastes.

Amazon says white DSi coming to North America on September 13
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 1 Comment
One of our readers has done a bit of detective work. While looking on Amazon’s U.S. webpage, he tracked down the white DSi using the ASIN code from the UK site. The actual page still isn’t up, but doing a search shows that the white DSi scheduled to launch on September 13th in North America. This falls in line with some previous dates that we’ve heard about and presumably, the pink DSi would also release on the same day. We should be hearing an announcement from Nintendo in the near future.
Thanks to Jeffrey C for the news tip!
