Musician Arman Bohn has created his newest music video with a decidedly fun piece of technology: the Nintendo DSi. To create the video for his song "Brain Games," Bohn drew images in the DSi's 'Flipnote Studio' program, and then exported them to 'After Effects' for editing and animation. In the video, anthropomorphic letters and numbers cavort as they watch Bohn perform on a TV monitor, ...

It's one thing to do a tech review the day a product comes out. But it can take a while to learn the ins and outs -- and discover the all the bugs -- in a new gadget. With that in mind, we're launching a new series called '28 Days Later,' wherein we'll put tech of all types through four weeks of abuse to see if that new gizmo lives up to its early hype. We kick it off with a long-term view of the ...

digg_url = 'http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/09/600k-dsis-sold-opening-weekend-in-us-and-europe/'; It wasn't the most hyped launch ever, but Nintendo's DSi had itself a fine little opening weekend, with 300,000 units moving in the US and Europe each. Not bad at all, considering that the first DS only sold 500,000 units in its first entire week in the US -- we're guessing the DSi will manage to ...

Nintendo's DSi may have just launched, but if you figured your wallet would be safe from buying any other related hardware in the near future, you clearly aren't in tune with the rabid peripheral market. Our best buds over at Joystiq sat down with David Young, the assistant PR manager for Nintendo of America, in order to talk shop and get a glimpse into the DSi's future. Of note, Mr. Young ...

Love 'Dance Dance Revolution' and 'Britney's Dance Beat" but wish you weren't limited to getting down in your living room? Well, neither do we (at least publicly), but Nintendo, with support from Beyoncé, has announced the upcoming release of the dance game 'Rhythm Nation' for its DSi handheld. Commercials for the new game, set to hit shelves April 5th, will feature Beyoncé, who ...

According to the good chaps over at Joystiq (and, you know, Nintendo), you can get your grubby mitts all over the DSi in North America come April 5th. The system will launch for $169.99, will include all the goodies you've been reading about -- like those dual cameras and downloadable content called DSiWare (starting at the totally mysterious price point of 200 DSi Points). The handhelds will ...

Nintendo's tip-toeing around an overseas, US release date of its new DSi handheld has now been narrowed to the summer of 2009, according to president Satoru Iwata. That's a whole lot better than "well into" 2009 if you ask us. Meanwhile, Japan gets theirs starting Saturday for ¥18,900 or about $192 tax-inclusive -- that's up from $178 earlier this month thanks to a skyrocketing Yen. ...

digg_url = 'http://digg.com/nintendo/Nintendo_Announces_DSi'; As expected, Nintendo has announced the new DSi at its Fall presentation in Japan. The device features a dual touchscreen layout almost identical to the DS Lite, though the company is calling it a "third platform," which means it's complementing the existing system, not necessarily replacing it. Looks-wise there's not much different ...
