Flash carts haven't even accessed DSi's native mode yet, but Nintendo is wasting no time.

Waiting on actual DSi-mode access, I never did get a replacement card.  Still, surprised it came to this already.

THis is not surprising. Really. I wonder how much money Nintendo lost through Flash cards.

If you do not update, you can't access in the DSi Shop.

I don't have a DSi yet, but this is scary...
Especially since I spend money on VC/Wii Ware games, I'm afraid that the Wii will get the same update treatment. :'(

Wii HAS gotten the same treatment for ages.  Nintendo never outright uninstalled the Homebrew Channel, but they did block installation methods (which were of course replaced by new ones) and they've already fixed it so that HBC cannot be transferred back to the console from an SD card should you remove it.  And of course, numerous Wii updates have been required for continued use of the shop channel.

Luckily haven't gotten my hands on the DSi yet...
...
This will be in the "newer" released DSi units (if any)... Right?


I'm watching you all. Always watching.

Perhaps in a few months down the line. Right now, everything on shelves should be packing older firmware, possibly even launch.

Not that big a deal.

So, the current record for DSi's anti-piracy firmware updates being effective is exactly 7 days.  I guess that's fairly long considering the overnight breaks that usually happen.

There's no actual reason to get a DSi. There are no exclusive titles and most new features are just gimmicks.

Well, my reason was that the top screen of my original brick DS broke.  >.>

Yeah, the DSi is a more powerful system, but Nintendo fast-launched it and so nobody's actually using it for anything worthwhile.  Hopefully that'll change.

Iwata will send you a complimentary basket of fruit.

Then offer you a fourth exclusive DS model for $250. It plays all other existing handhelds.
