In their recent press release, Opera Software announced that they have created a web browser for Nintendo DS, a portable gaming system from Nintendo. Priced at $32 and currently only available in Japan, the software, that is based on Opera desktop browser, is available on a DS cartridge. Simply insert the card into a WiFi enabled Nintento DS, connect to a network, and you can start browsing your favourite web sites on its dual screens. Of course, you can expect a superior speed and web pages rendering on the DS, just like what you get on the desktop.

“The incredibly popular Nintendo DS is already Wi-Fi enabled to support real time gaming, so adding Web browsing capabilities was a natural evolution for this device,” says Scott Hedrick, Executive Vice President, Opera Software. “Gaming devices are growing more advanced and a great Web experience is becoming a product differentiator for gaming manufacturers. Opera is excited to work with Nintendo to deliver a unique dual screen, full Internet experience on Nintendo DS.”
