- motang, on 10/12/2007, -2/+28Sweet, it's about time. I have been waiting for this one.
- Tetragrammaton, on 10/12/2007, -1/+23Sure, it may not be that useful. Sure, tons of devices already have this capability. But do you realize what this means?
CHILDREN AT RISK: NINTENDO IS TRYING TO SNEAK PORN INTO YOUR LIVING ROOM! - particlesaching, on 10/12/2007, -1/+19This will eliminate the need to draw it yourself in pictochat!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -8/+24@jasnmb
I have tried the opera browser.
It really, really, really is a novelty. I don't find much use for it. I think I would if it had a RSS reader, but it doesn't. And this was made by a team of people who were paid for making it. What are the odds one guy doing this in his spare time can make a good one? - D3koy, on 10/12/2007, -2/+15It says June not July you dumbass...
Transformers gets July 4th - tmbrwolf19, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13That probably is because Nintendo is Japanese... but that would be just crazy thinking, wouldn't it?
- MatttK, on 10/12/2007, -2/+14Oh no!! After pedophiles talk to your children on Pictochat, they will be able to visit websites with pictures of the pedophiles. We should ban electricity. Won't somebody please think of the children. :(
- JDWTC, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13I'll tell you what is about time, it's about time that the DS supported WPA.
- jasnmb, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11Yes, it is about freaking time! I'm slightly concerned about the reports that it's really slow, but I would think that if you only used it to browse mobile versions of websites (i.e. google.com/m) or turn off images it would be fine.
Someone is working on a free homebrew web browser for the DS: http://okiwi.blogspot.com . I'm hoping that turns out to be good. - ahawks, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Like they did with the Wii, right?
They've been pretty balanced, I'd say. America got the Wii first, but the rest of the world got Wii Play first. The rest of the world got the DS browser first. Various VC games have been released here or there first. - straxus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8"Too bad theres still not many decent games out for it. I hate all that kiddie crap they keep putting out. I know the PSP has a better mature game selection..."
straxus = 29
straxus DS collection = Animal Crossing, Big Brain Academy, Brain Age, (2) Castlevanias, Children of Mana, Cooking Mama, Elite Beat Agents, Hotel Dusk, Kirby Canvas Curse, Mario vs DK 2, Megaman ZX, Metroid Prime Hunters, Metroid Prime Pinball, (2) Phoenix Wright games, Starfox, New SMB, Super Monkey Ball, Tetris DS, Trace Memory, Trauma Center, Mario Kart, Touch Detective, Yoshi's Island DS.
One day, you'll learn that pretty colors don't equal kiddy games. As you get older, you'll also consider these so called 'mature' games, to be quite immature. - MatttK, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8I don't know about the US but there's no such thing as a data plan in Canada that isn't a rip off.
(That said, I will continue using my PDA's wi-fi for my mobile internet needs) - blackhand0114, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7But are cellphones or smart phones 30 dollars? For the price you get what you pay for.
- miyamotofreak, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7I imported the Euro browser and it's rubbish. Mr. Cow (HOTM) is right. The DS just can't have a solid web browser. The PSP one blows too but that's a different story.
- Kujila, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5If it can't visit youtube/dailymotion (Flash video) then it's useless to me.
- alternnate, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5@hotm
If it is RSS that you want for your DS Opera Browser, use google reader in its mobile version. It's one of the few things I end up doing efficiently with the DS browser really... - RUFiO006, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I bought this today (I'm in the UK). One of the first things I did was type the word 'lesbian' into Google Image Search. One of the second things I did was cry because it doesn't support flash, audio or video.
- straxus, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Are you kidding? There's nothing more aggravating than some douchbag 'webmaster' who thinks I'd rather listen to his ***** MIDI than whatever I already have playing in the background. I consider it a feature.
- trer, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5As cool as this is, it's impractical.
For quick browsing, I'd rather go with a smart phone or a even my cell phone. Free wi-fi spots are not always available, which is what you'd need for the DS browser. It's much easier to pop up the smartphone and check my email/quick search/porn fix that way. - jmreid, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5I think the only real reason I want this is for a wi-fi remote for XBMC.
- shin_en, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I have one. It is REALLY slow. You have to default the browser to not show images for better speed. If you leave the images on, it will try to dl all images before posting them. Takes FOREVER.
- directive0, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Some of us already have it :S
- EmileVictor, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3@hotm
I do not agree at all. It is particularly useful for travellers without laptops, as I was for two months in europe.
I just opened up my ds in hotel rooms and went straight on the internet with it. I have no complaints at all, and if you know where to look, you can run IM clients on it too. I used eBuddy's mobile MSN client quite a lot. - ezweave, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3@renton
That's because It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Wait... - miggz06, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3wooooooooo porn on the go!!!
- jellygraph, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3um, ok, its been out in europe for a while now. i have it and, yes, its got some severe limitations. its a slow way to browse, complains of running out of space all the time, but it is functional. no, it has no flash support (no youtube). i use it to refresh a server statistics page at work, so i have a good cursory glance at it... or being able to take it with me to la toilette and do my business and still read slashdot / digg at the same time ^_^ hehe. or, if im cooking, ill have a recipe open in front of me... but its not the most comfortable way to surf the web.
5/10
which is a shame, really... it could have been so much cooler... but i guess the hardware has its limitations - Renton, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Here in philadelphia, 1/10 of the city has free wi-fi and the whole city will have free wi-fi by the end of 2007
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I got the Japanese DS Lite version a loooong time ago. It's nice to have, great for time on the toilet. Not great compared to the Wii Opera Trial Browser.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2No audio? This is one heck of a crippled browser...
- Falkon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2It also needs proxy support, as I can't play any wi-fi games at school due to our lame proxy.
- skoot, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1bought the japanese DS lite cart a few months back - once you pass the language barrier the browser is slow at best. more for "wow look at this" factor. totally choked loading DIGG home page. wonder if the US version will be a new Opera build? javascript anyone?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2There's very useful and legitimate uses of sound. You must browse myspace.
- freehunter, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3He obviously doesn't think it's easy to make one if he said the guy by himself couldn't make a more useful browser than people getting paid. Read a little, plz.
- mageofdeath, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1over a year late, and the browser is any good anyway(at least not 40 dollars worth)...
- DenZ88, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3For a browser in the Web 2.0 era, I think it's a bit archaic. Maybe they're pushing the date back to pack some more stuff in (RSS, Flash, anyone?).
- archlich, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Bah his comment wasn't there when I posted, I even refreshed!
- mvannatter, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0Awesome. It makes me bored.
- VeganG, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Buyer beware. This thing got some pretty bad word of mouth.
- CornStarch, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2It looks to me like Nintendo is playing that old game of shipping to Japan first and America much much later.
- csbu, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1motang if your that keen try importing one from the UK or Australia
- rockinShoes, on 10/12/2007, -6/+3I got it a few weeks back and it's working great. NOw I don't have to bother booting the computer for trivial tasks and @hotm if it's that easy to code a browser why don't you go code your own web based RSS reader? Would that not be much easier than bitching about lacking features.
Well worth the £15($30) I got it for. - CornStarch, on 10/12/2007, -5/+2Being based in Japan is not an excuse; especially since Opera, the company they contracted to, is not Japanese.
- bunnymanjp, on 10/12/2007, -5/+1why would anyone buy that
- copperteeth, on 10/12/2007, -4/+0This is a little late onto the north amarican market, gnirfleo the homebrew browser is just arround the corner and it may prove to be supiorior to opera ds, but only time will tell
http://gnirfleo.blogspot.com/ - Junkyarddawg, on 10/12/2007, -5/+1This is 'gaming news'?
FFS. Gaming News must be the most abused topic on Digg. - Ozymandius3, on 10/12/2007, -10/+4Looks like Mario is using his little DK hammer to drive the nail into the PSP coffin.
- roguewarrior, on 10/12/2007, -7/+0It is about freakin time. This should have been firmware for the system a long time ago. Too bad theres still not many decent games out for it. I hate all that kiddie crap they keep putting out. I know the PSP has a better mature game selection and better online multiplayer capability but I dont want to buy one because all the developers are abandoning it in favor of making easy coded crap for the DS.
- JordanM85, on 10/12/2007, -9/+2Do not want!
- archlich, on 10/12/2007, -9/+1July 4th
- shazb0t, on 10/12/2007, -22/+0Happy birthday America.
