With the handheld's Nov. 1 release just around the bend in Japan, Nintendo has released a new "informational video" showing off the user interface, camera functionality, and DSi store for the Nintendo DSi. As expected, there's a lot of wacky face-stretching and bestickering of cute photos to be found, along with some hah-larious pitch modulation of recorded voice clips. You know, like the voice changers you've tried on XBL and PSN for all of two minutes.
The DSi store and the DSi's revamped UI are unquestionably the most interesting aspects of the short video. We're still interested to see if the DSi allows for things such as changing game cards and system settings without having to reboot the unit. That'd be so ... 2008. (2009 if you live in the US.)
It looks like the UI has had a massive overhaul and is now similar to the Wii's (with separate Channels). The camera looks pretty cool although I don't see much point in some of the effects (seems similar to the IWarp feature found in Sony Ericsson Mobile Phone :P). ANyway, I'll be getting this for sure. I may even import it from Japan and just ignore the fact I don't have a clue what any of the buttons do lol
It looks like? More like It HAS! Can't wait for the DSi :] I've been using my original DS for over 4 years and just recently the corners have started to fade Dx ; it's done well.
