DS releases for the week of June 4th

by Alisha Karabinus { Jun 4th 2007 at 2:00PM }

At last, the long-awaited DS browser is here, but just remember to be careful when you buy -- there are versions for both the Lite and Phat DS models, and it looks like not all online retailers have separate listings yet. Obviously, Nintendo thinks you should just buy another DS, since that seems to be the hip thing to do these days. So who's planning on celebrating this week with a little browsing?

Dragon Ball Z: Harukanaru Densetsu
Nintendo DS Browser
Planet Puzzle League

I was recently helping cameraman on a 12 cities in 12 days across the US speaking tour. I don't have a cell phone or a laptop but I did have my DS Lite and if I had the browser I totally could have checked my email and kept in touch with the fanboy sites.

Planet Puzzle Leage is what I really wanna try. It looks sweet!

Would the browser work on a WPA encrypted network? I wonder...

Eric @ Jun 4th 2007 2:42PM

@rustbow: I would be surprised if it does, I am pretty sure it's a hardware limitation.

So, according to Nintendo (here: http://www.nintendo.com/gamemini?gameid=ZRIHM-K7C6pLPkN--ZjWFInT-vIEngbV ), the DS Browser is released TODAY. Has anyone picked it up or found it in stock at a store yet? I'd love to snag it without waiting until later this week!

It doesn't matter what comes out this week or for the next thirty, I just got Etrian Odyssey and I will be busy for awhile.

@Wadely

I'm hoping for the DS Phat version to show up here:

but no luck yet. It would sure be nice if DSFanboy made a journalistic effort to actually find out when it will be available...

that lite, phat card thingy was no problem for me, I just bought the lite one and cut one of my Gba cards, pasted the header on the preperated lite card, and voiala, I use that since some months now and it works WONDERFUL !

Wadely @ Jun 4th 2007 3:40PM

Dan Russell -

Both Best Buy and Fry's ads in the paper said they would have it in store tomorrow, but of course don't mention WHICH (lite or phat) edition. The box art in the Best Buy ad was of the phat version, as it is on their website, but their website doesn't list 2 versions or mention which one it is in the description, so I dunno.

I need the lite version, so I think it will be easier to get mine locally, I just don't want to wait. I'm impatient. :)

I'm considering ordering the browser to play with.

Xaos @ Jun 4th 2007 3:47PM

Well apparently Opera is pre-released by GameStop today too. They're saying its supporting flash and javascript, so it'd be very interesting to see how that works out (if at all) and any other differences between the UK/Japan versions and the new US version.

ConstyXIV @ Jun 4th 2007 5:00PM

w00t on Planet Puzzle League!
Also, can someone please acquire a US version of the DS browser and confirm/deny Flash support?

strider_mt2k @ Jun 4th 2007 6:35PM

Make that "have ordered it" to play with. :D

The only full review I've seen that wasn't a European/Japanese version of the browser was on CNET, which was posted on 3/30/07, says no Flash or Java:

sweet ! I`m typing this from the browser right now ! so far pandora doesn't seem to work. email me any questions u have. gonna go try utube now. [yahoo mail was slow but workable]

LooP @ Jun 5th 2007 6:28PM

so what's the word on youtube? i'm guessing it didn't work...

LooP @ Jun 5th 2007 8:58PM

just picked up the browser from best buy. i gotta say, i was pretty excited about this coming out, but now i'm a bit disaapointed. the range isn't all that great and browsing is a bit slow and navigating certain websites is difficult because of the way it gets rearranged. youtube videos, or any type of flash for that matter dont work, which was no surprise, and turning off images is a must if you plan on getting anywhere.

using the software it feels more like it should have been integrated into the ds from the start (i.e. no cartridges but included in the same way pictochat was); the way it works seems more like a novelty than anything which is why i feel that way. overall i guess it's ok if you're in a pinch, but i'm glad i only had to spend 24.99 for it thanks to some reward zone cash.

if you've already made up your mind on buying this, i would recommend either best buy, circuit city, or amazon.com when i went to gamestop to preorder they were charging 34.99 which is wayyyyy more than you should pay for this software, the other sites are only charging 29.99 which i think is still pushing it.

Youtube or not, this has got to be at least slightly more functional than my phone's browser.

If only they had an EVDO/HSDPA (depending on carrier) adapter that you could get that would double as the memory expansion....dare to dream

Xaos @ Jun 6th 2007 11:32AM

Wow thats amazing then. I cannot believe Opera and Nintendo wasted over 6 months since the UK release and didnt improve a damn thing.

A question for people with the US version, is the copyright on the browsers Startpage 2006 or 2007? Was just curious to see if they even bothered to update that.
