DS gets downloadable content with official DSVision flash card peripheral
Posted by: in Portable Game "DS & PSP"Filed under: Nintendo DS, Portable
Piracy ahoy! AM3 and Dai Nippon Printing have partnered up to release the DSVision digital content platform for the Nintendo DS in Japan. The device — which is officially licensed by Nintendo — features a MicroSD flash card and a standard-sized DS card adapter. Users will be able to download movies, music, books, and manga from the DSVision website, and download the content onto the MicroSD card for portable viewing/listening.
Of course, we’re more intrigued by the device’s ability to put other content on the DS. Piracy? Who said anything about piracy? The DSVision could do a lot to mainstream the DS’s homebrew development community, especially with its official endorsement from Nintendo.
DSVision is due for release in Japan this January, at a suggested retail price of ¥3,980 (or approximately $37 USD). The online digital content store isn’t due to open until March. We smell a hot import item…
