Nintendo DSi: US & Europe: Summer 2009

The Nintendo DSi, the company’s newest version of its portable gaming device, will be available during the summer of 2009 in the US and Europe. According to Nintendo president Satoru Iwata, “Specific plans will be unveiled by our local subsidiaries, but an autumn or year-end launch would probably be too late.” People who can’t wait to get one and do not live in Japan will have to pay an import fee. Sites like Play-Asia.com [www.play-asia.com] and NCSX [www.shopncsx.com] are selling the console at prices between US$292 and US$300. Be aware that if you buy a Japanese DSi, you won’t be able to play American or European DSi ones on the device. Nintendo has decided to region-lock its DSi games. Normal DS games won’t be affected. Even with features such as web browser, music player, two cameras, SD memory card slot (no GBA slot), and a larger screen, sales of the DSi in Japan have not satisfied the investors, a Reuters article says.

El Nintendo DSi, la versión más nueva de su dispositivo portátil de juegos de la compañía, estará disponible durante el verano del 2009 en los Estados Unidos y Europa. De acuerdo a Satoru Iwata, presidente de Nintendo, “los planes específicos serán revelados por medio de nuestras subsidiarias locales, pero un lanzamiento en otoño o a finales de año probablemente sería muy tarde”. La gente que no puede esperar en conseguirse uno y no vive en Japón tendrá que pagar un honorario (pago) de importación. Sitios como Play-Asia.com [www.play-asia.com] y NCSX [www.shopncsx.com] venden la consola a precios entre los US$292 y los US$300. Presten atención que si compran un DSi japonés, no podrán jugar los juegos americanos o europeos del DSi en el dispositivo. Nintendo decidió restringir sus juegos DSi por regiones. Juegos normales DS no serán afectados. Hasta con características tales como un navegador web, reproductor de música, dos cámaras, una ranura para tarjetas de memoria SD (no ranura GBA), y una pantalla más grande, las ventas del DSi en Japón no han satisfecho a los inversionistas, según un artículo de Reuters.
