Nintendo DS Web Browser Hits USA in December!

2006 March 30
by Justin

Go Nintendo reports that “the DS Web Browser has been announced to come out for the DS in America in December…in the latest issue of Nintendo Power.”

Based upon the popular Opera Web Browser Software, this touch screen adaptation will include similar functionality to its bigger PC brother, but also making use of the DS touch screen for navigation. This is really cool. I’ll be sure to import this when it comes out….C’mon christmas time!

    no either ds will work but the ds lite has a smaller gba pak and so the ds lite version will only work in the ds lite.

    Hey, Albert Lopez, I’d like you to keep your mouth shut. Don’t tell lies, because no one believes them. We all know you DON’T work at Nintendo. Someone who talks like that does NOT work at Nintendo.

    But for someone like me, though … I could work at Nintendo, because I don’t talk like you. =D

    Thanks Joshua, that information is fairly accurate I think. However, anybody thinking of importing the japanese version should think again as that version will only work with japanese ISP’s (apparently).

    Anybody wanting to pick up the DS web browser should wait until their region gets it in stores locally.

  8. 2006 September 27

    The japanese version is compatable with American and other foreign ISPs, and the DS web browser will not be available in stores, it’s strictly by ordering it.

    Also, I don’t work for Opera or Nintendo, I’m my own company.

    All of the browsers, no matter what country they are from work in any other country. The beautiful thing about the european version is that you can change the interface language. You can choose english, spanish, french, italian or germen! Because of this, I think this is the one to get. I picked up mine at http://www.unclemikesupersale.com.

    Just letting everyone know that the Nintendo DS Web Browser OFFICIALLY comes out on June 4th, 2007 in the USA. I work at EB Games and I preordered mine today. Also, ONLY the Nintendo DS Lite version of the browser will be available commercially, if you want the original Nintendo DS version you are going to have to order it off of Nintendo’s website.

    okay…lets get this thing started!
    here’s some real facts about the ds web brower. It’s up to you whether u want to believe it or not. But i actually have proof, so listen up.

    Q: 1) Is there going to be an (original) DS web browser?
    A: 1) Yes. There is going to be an (original) DS web browser.

    Q: 2) Can you buy an (original) DS web browser at a retail store? (ex. walmart, gamestop,target,etc…)
    A: 2) No. You have to order an (original) DS web browser online. I don’t know where exactly, but i’ll update you guys/girls when I find out. Only the “DS Lite” web browser will be sold at retail stores.

    Q: 3) How many DS web browser versions are there?
    A: 3) There are currently three DS web browser versions.

    Version A: Japan version [Date it came out:July 24,2006]
    Version B: Europe version [Date it came out: Oct 6,2006]
    Version C: US version [Date it "comes" out: June 4,2006]

    I hope this answer’s your question “huh? Unregistered”

    That’s all the Q/A’s i have ,but if you guys/girls have anymore questions then just post one and i’ll answer it to the best of my ability.

    Now here is some really important information. Now i know alot of “impatient people” went ahead and ordered a DS lite web browser online, and hey, that’s fine. But unfortunately you guys lucked out.

    I am aware that a DS web browser doesn’t support flash or java.

    Now here’s the big information.

    1. THE JAPANESE DS WEB BROWSER DOES NOT SUPPORT FLASH OR JAVA

    2. THE EUROPEAN DS WEB BROWSER DOES NOT SUPPORT FLASH OR JAVA

    3. THE US DS WEB BROWSER DOES SUPPORT FLASH!!!

    I am not sure if the ds web browser will support java and/or video, but i’ll send a post as soon as i find out.

    Now I’ve just laid out alot of information that some will believe me, and others will just not care. That’s fine, but for those of you who need some solid information, here are some websites where I have found all the information above.

    1. Wikipedia: type in nintendo ds web browser

    2. my opera.com/community/forums

    3.dualscreenradio.com

    Okay…I think that’s about it. I hope I helped you guys out. See yeah later!
