Band Bros dev says DSi more powerful than DS, Vicarious Visions still looking into music games for DSi
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 1 Comment
“It’s not just a DS with cameras in it as some might think. It’s a more powerful platform. This is something we’ve really been thinking about and working on. What’s interesting about the DSi is [that] it’s a much more capable system than the DS and DSLite than some may think. We want to do it right [guitar games/peripherals for DSi]. We want to get the best experience for what that platform can deliver.” – David Nathanielsz, executive producer of the forthcoming Band Hero DS
This isn’t the first time that we’ve heard the DSi is more powerful than the DS/DS Lite in some areas. It’ll be interesting to see if developer’s will be able to take advantage of additional horsepower and other hardware boosts for future DSi-exclusive games.
