242w ago - And now we come to the final part of our show, wherein you asked questions, and we put them to Nintendo of America President
Reggie Fils-Aime, and he answered.
First up came a question regarding region locks on the Nintendo DSi handhelds. And Reggie's answer? "To be honest I don't know for sure, I will look into it." He added that he thinks that the device will be region locked, purely on the fact that the downloads for the system are region based.
Man, I am going to be so damn disappointed if I can't play my copy of Tingle's Balloon Fight on there. Especially after the trouble I went to to get it!
Nintendo has said they will look into it for us, so we'll keep on it sometime in the coming weeks.
Another question was a simple one: The DSi can play music, so can it play MP3s? And the answer is "no, it plays the AAC format. It's an easy conversion."
That may be true, but let's face it, MP3s have the run of society; are people going to be eager to have to switch their music before loading it to the DSi?
And there you have it.
Anyone else here played that Fast and Furious game yet? Its the worst car racing game ever. It looks about 10 years old and plays about 20 years old. ...
the region lock would be quite stupid indeed, although you could create a rom from your local module, which would be able to play with a homebrew module.
At any rate, the camera looks cool. But I'll stick to my psp for all my music/video/picture need's. Funny thing is, I would have bought one if they played MP3's.
