Nintendo has already made sure that the DS is the cheapest Wi-Fi internet browser around with the Opera browser. Now they are gaining ground in the multimedia battlegrounds. An MP3 played, much like Japan’s Play-Yan, will be coming to Europe this October to the tune of 30 euros (read: very cheap). Unlike the Play-Yan, the ‘Nintendo MP3 player’ has no video playback functions. Many had complained that this feature was less than intuitive on the Play-Yan. Still this piece of software boasts some pretty nice features:
- Works on the GBA slot (actually might work on a GBA)
- The device uses SD cards for storage, up to 2GB cards supported
- Skinable interface
- Standard MP3 player interface
- The unit has its own headphone jack
I was wondering why it needed another headphone jack, it seemed quite pointless. But after asking around I came to know that the wiring on the DS isn’t very power efficient when using the headphone jack. It does the web thing, the music thing and the video thing if you import, and it also has awesome games. Your turn PSP, are you gonna raise or fold?
