I happened to come across this just now...

Opera Software today announced that it will deliver the World Wide Web to Nintendo DS users in Japan.

In Opera's agreement with Nintendo, Nintendo DS users will now be able to surf the full Internet from their systems using the Opera browser. The Opera browser for Nintendo DS will be sold as a DS card. Users simply insert the card into the Wi- Fi enabled Nintendo DS, connect to a network, and begin browsing on two screens.

...

Nintendo Co., Ltd. held a presentation today in Tokyo, Japan, to announce updates for the Nintendo DS. Information on the availability of the Opera browser DS card has not yet been announced.

The question remains: is this going to move out of Japan?

Excellent news. I've been waiting for a web browser for the DS for a while, and since the DS already has WiFi, a web browser is the next logical step.

The question remains: is this going to move out of Japan?

I'd certianly hope it does. And if it makes it to the United States, I'll be sure to pick up a copy for my DS!

Thanks for the news.

I would like to say thank you to Opera and Nintendo for balance up the product availability region, even though I do not receive any benefit from this decision. We shouldn't have everything that's available in the States first.

Thankfully Nintendo made the DS is region-free. So no matter where any DS software or game is released, it should run on any Nintendo DS system from any country.

That's good to know. You might need to give them some time to work out the deals (between distributors or whatever), and the translation of the DS card package.

Out of curiosity, why did this get posted to MozInfo701? It isn't even Mozilla news!

Although we focus on Mozilla news, but a few non-Mozilla browser news shouldn't hurt.

In my opinion, the focus of this website has become hopelessly muddled over the last two years.
