The Nintendo DS Browser is a convenient web browser, which enables Nintendo DS users to surf the web, check and send emails, bank and shop online and even communicate with their friends in live chat. The Nintendo DS Browser features a built-in history function allowing users to bookmark their favourite sites and it has a fast start up time making it quick and easy to connect to the internet, at home or away. Nintendo DS owners can use the browser to connect to Wi-Fi environments at home, a public Wi-Fi hotspot or one of Nintendo’s free Wi-Fi hotspots.

By using the unique interface of the Nintendo DS, users can effortlessly surf the web as if they were using a keyboard and mouse. The stylus can be used to activate hyperlinks and click around pages. For typing in URLs and filling in complicated information users can employ an onscreen digital keyboard and the console’s handwriting recognition system.

* Will play on the Nintendo DS Lite System only (not the original Nintendo DS)


Features

Web sites can be viewed through the Nintendo DS Browser using two main modes. Overview Mode shows the complete web site on one screen and areas which are highlighted will enlarge on the other screen. It also features Opera’s Fit-to-Width Mode where web sites will be adjusted to fit inside the two Nintendo DS screens, eliminating the need for horizontal scrolling.

The Nintendo DS Browser will be available as a standard DS cartridge. To allow image or multimedia-heavy web sites to load quickly, it will come bundled with a Memory Expansion Pack, which boosts the system’s power. This pack fits snugly into the Game Boy Advance socket on the Nintendo DS and comes in two versions. One version is for the classic Nintendo DS and a smaller version is available to fit the slimmed down Nintendo DS Lite.

Parents who wish to have more control over the internet sites their children access can set passwords required to activate the browser. In addition, Nintendo has partnered with Astaro to provide the option of a parental control which acts as a proxy filter to block inappropriate content.

Reviewed by: Amber from UK Fairly Good I bought this as it mentioned the fact that it could connect to WiFi connections. It is satisfactory speed and all in all, it works quite well. As for these free Nintendo WiFi connections - no such thing. I wanted it so I could access the internet on the go, as well as at home. Such a shame I can’t - if I could it would have been the most perfect thing DS could have offered. Reviewed by: Mike Corcoran from Malta Simple connection and easy use I bought the browser kit on Sunday 21 Jan 2007 from HMV at Heathrow terminal 4. Took it home and plugged it into the DS Lite. I input my personal SSID & WEP details and made a connection very easily.Considering the DS Lite is not a Pc it handled browsing and email with no problem at all. Data speeds were very acceptable.The Opera browser worked beautifully, allowing me to access my gmail.Basically, if you have a DS Lite and a wifi Internet access its worth having the Lite browser as it extends the fun even more,
