My DS is looking like it's playing up so I was thinking of getting one of these off santa bastard, but that was when I thought it'd cost £120. Maybe they'll drop in price or I can pick one up off ebay once the preorder rush settles down

Nintendo is planning a swathe of WarioWare games for release on the downloadable DS service, DSiWare.

One of these, WarioWare: Photograph, will be designed specially for the DSi, according to a financial performance chat by Satoru Iwata (reported by GameSpot).

The game will make use of the new camera; set the DSi on a table and your silhouette image will be used in various mini-games - there's an example of one where players have to line their fingers up underneath a big, bogey-laden nose. WarioWare: Photograph will be out in Japan this December.

For existing DS owners there will be WarioWare: Myself, a more traditional mini-game affair but with a create and share element. There's even a WiiWare counterpart in the works, which will allow user created games to be played, but will not feature a toolset itself.

On top of this WarioWare madness, Nintendo plans downloadable utilities such as clocks and calendars that will feature famous characters such as ooh maybe Mario. There are some DSiWare ArtStyle puzzlers in the pipeline, too.

There's no mention of cost, mind you; so far we know some DSi titles will be free, while others will cost either 200, 500 or 800 Nintendo points (GBP 1.70 / 4.25 / 6.80).

From teh Eurogamer.

It's not gonna be long before all those swore blind they wouldn't bother will end up picking one up, there's gonna be some crazy shit to play with those cameras.

OOh now im really excited, because initially I thought nintendo might not make the best use of their great new hardware (i know! get out of town right?) but reading that thing you quoted there Hendo, I can see that they arent going to miss a trick this time:

"set the DSi on a table and your silhouette image will be used in various mini-games
Mini Games....fucking great. But Wait! Theres More!
- there's an example of one where players have to line their fingers up underneath a big, bogey-laden nose.

I actually want one too.

Bear in mind I don't even have the Lite, just the Phat, and there's no real point in me getting one now unless the price of DSi is ridiculous. The battery life in my current DS is fucking shit because it's been charged so much, and I dunno if you can even get replacement ones anymore, so it looks like I'll be getting me a DSi when they come out.

The DSi has only be out a few days in Japan, and one discerning individual has already found an enterprising use for it: Anime boobs. Hit the jump for the clip. Might be NSFW depending on where you work.

Thought it was worth plonking this here. NeoGAF reckons a new DS is on the way, very soon. Like, this year.

http://blog.livedoor.jp/jim115/archives/51286284.html

according to the article

it seems basically the spec and the function of the new model remain the same,

just the screen become bigger

The retaiil price is the same, 18900 yen

The new 4" DSi model will be released within this year in Japan, places outside Japan are still under discussion
