“We’re not talking about DSi software at the moment – we’ll do so closer to launch.” – Nintendo UK rep

This shouldn’t be too surprising, but at least this does seem to show that there will be a few DSiWare titles available at launch. I’m sure North America will also receives news about DSiWare in the coming weeks.

Black Bean Games brings you Ico Soccer
Milan, Italy – 18th February, 2009 – Black Bean Games and Artematica Entertainment strengthen their partnership with the release of a new concept game for soccer, due by the end of June. Ico Soccer has been thought for Nitendo DSTM and represents a game based mainly on logic and strategic analysis rather then reflexes and strong licence.
Ico Soccer is a touch-based soccer experience that brings the player to be the team manager, interacting on team formation, substitution and tactics. Through Nintendo DS Stylus and visual icons, representing the different actions of the match, the player can move the entire team according to his strategy. With the balance bar, placed at the bottom of the fully fledged screen, the player is perfectly aware of the attitude of the team through the entire match.
