You've got Mario in my DSi calculator app

by Xav de Matos { Feb 27th 2009 at 9:30PM }

So, you've got $2 burning a hole in your pocket and you want to calculate money you only wish you had? Well DSi users, you're in luck with a nifty calculator. But, the convenience doesn't end there. The application utilizes sound effects and visuals from Super Mario Bros. If you think about it, it's a really smart idea! For years we've been joking that the DS prints money, but now the DSi can count it, too. Oh, technology ... where would we be without you? Check out a video of the application in action after the break.

What's that second screen for, when Mario is the right of the pipe?

ishuma @ Feb 27th 2009 11:39PM

It says "memory" at the top.

I bought the Animal Crossing version.

@ rTwelve: The second screen is the "Units Conversion" screen. You can select from the following:

Length (centimeters, meters, kilometers, inches, feet, yards, miles, Japanese units)
Weight/Mass (grams, kilograms, ounces, pounds, carats, tons, Japanese units)
Volume (milliliters, liters, cubic meters, ounces, gallons, barrels, cups, Japanese units)
Time (seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, years, centuries)
Area (square meters, square feet, square yards, square miles, hectares, acres, Japanese units)
Speed (meters/s, meters/m, kilomters/h, light speed, feet/s, miles/h, knots, mach)
Temperature (centigrade, Farenheit, Kelvin)
Age (human, cats, small dogs, large dogs, hamsters, parakeets, rabbits, horses)

And this isn't freeware because...?

eggman282 @ Feb 28th 2009 2:06AM

because it prints money?

EXTREME Seph @ Feb 28th 2009 9:52AM

Because cheap calculators are $2.50. Like, cheap basic function ones. This is a deal.

Jacksons @ Mar 1st 2009 1:13PM

A lousy deal.

Oh no! Not TWO DOLLARS! Those fiends! How dare they force us to buy a two dollar app!

Oh wait, they aren't, are they?

Luigi193 @ Feb 28th 2009 9:53AM

Two dollars for a calculator!!!!
Thats highway robbery!

Adolph @ Feb 28th 2009 10:28AM

i know for only $3 more I can get a FOOTLONG Sand witch at Subway

Bowser Rogozhin @ Feb 28th 2009 10:35AM

It's not just robbery...it's calculated robbery.

Luigi193 @ Feb 28th 2009 11:06AM

A Sand Witch??? Does it come with its own broom? How about a shovel and bucket!

ChronicTC7 @ Mar 1st 2009 1:42PM

hmmmm...
Id go for the footlong.

Obie @ Feb 28th 2009 10:45AM

So the DSi supports custom apps? Nice!
I would buy this, why I do not know. Must be the nostalgia.

Actually, Nintendo made this app...

I guess you're paying for the fact that its a Mario calculator... not just a calculator calculator. Pretty nice though, my co-workers would get a kick out of it if they started hearing Mario jumps when I count out my register.

Robert @ Mar 1st 2009 11:27AM

Eh, I wish it was free, but it's a great moneymaking ploy.

Since there aren't many utility apps available for the DSI, I'm excited to download the Mario calculator when it's released. What I would really like to see is a PDF viewer application for the DSi. That would really make the system useful for other things than just playing games and messing around with the camera.
