Nintendo has surprised the gaming community today with the announcement that not only can the DSi store applications on the system, but shopping will be allowed with Nintendo points. An internatl browser will be equipped as well. Games one has downloaded will be able to be taken with the user. Finally, it looks as though Wii points will be renamed, or somehow affected, as Nintendo officially introduces Nintendo points. 1000 free points when the DSi is purchased before March 2010, which can be used in the Nintendo DS Shop. Nintendo DS Ware can be downloaded for either 200, 500, 800, or even 0 points.

Two touch screens have been confirmed.
