So, as we’ve already reported, Nintendo has announced the DSi, a spiffy new iteration of the DS franchise. There’s the larger screens, smaller profile, music playback, SD card slot…But what’s got everybody in a kerfuffle about it is the 3MP camera embedded in the system, both on the top and between the screens. The burning question now is what exactly Nintendo plans to do with the system, and how they’re going to integrate the features. So, if you want some uninformed opinion about the possibilities and future of the DSi, kindly hit the jump.

GAMES

The first thing that comes to mind when talking about the Nintendo DSi camera has to be how the games will integrate this feature. As I said in a previous post, there are a few ways it can be integrated, such as the way the cell phone title Final Fantasy VII: Before Crisis had you using the camera to craft materia based on the dominant color of the picture. What I’m personally hoping for is the return of the Game Boy Camera - the fact that the DSi now features an SD card slot makes it a lot easier to store said pictures and print them out from a PC, as opposed to the crappy thermal printer they sold with the Gameboy.
