Starting today, Nintendo DSi™ owners have even more ways to share their experiences with friends and family. Using an Internet-connected Nintendo DSi system and the Nintendo DSi Camera application, Facebook members can take pictures with either of the system’s two cameras and upload their photos directly to their Facebook profile. This function will be available after 5 p.m. Pacific with a free downloadable system update.
While reviewing pictures they’ve stored in the Nintendo DSi Camera album, which includes photos taken by users and manipulated using the built-in interactive lenses, users can simply tap the Facebook icon on the system’s touch screen to instantly transmit photos to the user’s Facebook profile. The user’s system must be configured to a wireless broadband Internet connection for the transmission of photos.
“Facebook and Nintendo DSi build on the trend of personalization that is so important to consumers,” said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “We’re giving people the tools to express themselves in creative new ways and show off the results to their friends and family on Facebook.”
Nintendo DSi has sold more than 1.7 million units in the United States alone, according to the NPD Group. The third iteration of the world’s best-selling portable video game system includes photo- and voice-manipulation features that allow users to customize their experiences like never before.
When you have a kid like i do and the spouse owns a computer/game store, you kinda need to know your stuff - well a wee bit. But she was playing Trackmania for hours.. i bet if she was a teenager, she would need acne treatments for the lack of sleeping.
Ok.. about this game, it’s about racing.. and you race to get in first. here is no doubt that the Trackmania formula is a successful one–the game has already seen four versions come out on the PC, all of which have been quite enjoyable. They aren’t for everyone, as they definitely are not a sim-racer (like Gran Turismo) and they can be frustrating as you often have to run tracks over and over again to perfect them, but for some gamers they are just about as fun as racing games get. Because you are primarily racing against yourself you can keep racing tracks in order to shave off a few hundredths of a second or, in the case of the DS version, there is an added incentive: earning coppers. Using these coppers you can unlock new tracks, blocks (parts for building custom parts), and skins for your cars. You’ll also have to beat easier tracks in order to gain access to more difficult ones. The buying is limited to game elements though–you can’t buy new cars, improved suspensions, or anything like that.

Seriously .. i donch know how anyone can get excited over an old game in a different system. Surely everyone played the GTA (Grand Theft Auto) by now..?? even I .. the non-avid player.. .played it before in both the xbox and PS2. But i guessed for the younger kids.. with a DS.. it is something different to look forward to.. but wait..!! what about the “M” rating on it..?? So yes.. still can’t see what the big fuss is all about.
20 hrs of playtime is said to be expected and 70 mission to finished with changing of weather, traffic, police and pedestrian. The game will feature an open-world environment with changing weather and traffic, police and pedestrian. I heard that it is going to be a big seller amongst the DS owners. Maybe we should stock some in our store too.
