Take on the rhythmical challenge of firing pegs on an assembly line and singing in perfect harmony with a musical trio by downloading a special demo of Rhythm Paradise onto your Nintendo DS! This is just one of over 50 fun mini-games and rhythm toys you can take on in this addictive rhythm game.
Rhythm Paradise is a crazy compendium of musical mini-games that test your sense of rhythm as you try to keep up with the beat! You tap, flick and slide with your Nintendo DS stylus as you take on a range of tricky challenges – try keeping up with bird recruits at a bird boot camp, act as a backing dancer to some rock ‘n’ roll frogs or chop vegetables karate-style! Take a trip to Rhythm Paradise and tap into the rhythm!
“Technically possible” to bring Skype to the DSi
Posted on 15 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.
