RF Generation Message Board

As most of you know, the Nintendo DSi will be launched in Australia, Europe and North America on the first week of April. Japan has had the DSi since November 2008.

RFGeneration now has two new sections in our database, the Nintendo DSi and Nintendo DSiWare. The DSi section, is where all DSi hardware entries (systems, accessories, etc etc.) and physical games (cards) will go. The DSiWare section, is where the downloadable games bought through Nintendo's DSiWare service will be added. SD cards branded for use with DSiWare will also go in the DSi section.

In an effort to remain future-proof and for the sake of collectors and checklists, DS games published as dual-mode software (DS/DSi) will be treated like PC/Mac hybrids. Not to be confused with DSi's DS backwards compatibility, we mean a game meant for both systems while having extra features only the DSi can use. Like PC/Mac, entries can be added to each section (DS/DSi) to accommodate members who may own one but not the other. It goes without saying that this won't apply to games for the DS that already exist in the database as none of those have the DSi in mind.

At present, Australia, Europe, Japan and North America have all been enabled for both the DSi and DSiWare sections. So if you already have Japanese hardware and games, you can begin adding them immediately. We will begin approving submissions for the other regions as soon as the official launches have taken place.

Note: As usual, all games and hardware are subject to the published guidelines in the About tab under Policies & Guidelines. Also in your hardware submissions, please specify what colour your system is in the variation title (Matte White, Matte Black or Matte Blue).


Thank you :)

I called that one didn't I?  :nod:

Yep. I love the last line of that article! :P

Expression my contentness about this announcement. I'm sure Tan appreciates positive feedback on his hard work. :)

Your post on the other hand was more useless than mine.

my post is about your pointless questioning of Sirgin's pointless post.

Oh wait. I guess my post is pointless too. Nevermind. :(

More interesting than the DSi enhanced games is the fact that they are releasing DSi exclusive games also.

Didn't nintendo say they were not going to do this to the DS?

Damn... now I guess I am going to have to buy one :(

Since I already have a normal DS, yeah :(

A question about hybrids. Chronos Twins was released as physical ds game in Europe and in teh USA and america as dsiWare, are these variation as the game is the same.

Our system isn't setup to handle those as variations, as variations are only for the same platform. DSiWare and DS are separate.
