Screenshot: Nintendo DSi - powered by Opera

October 7, 2008 · by Haavard

Opera will be available for free for DSi, Nintendo's new portable gaming console. Opera's company logo is prominently displayed on the loading screen, which is very nice for Opera as a brand. Saito just blogged about this and other screenshots over at CNET Japan, including explanations for each.

This is what Opera on the DSi looks like when loading:

The Opera website states that Nintendo "challenged them" and "demanded nothing but the best," if Opera cannot offer up software at a basic equvalant to mobile OS then WAIT on the DSi- the internet is the only real feature.

Third, the DSi is far to low-powered to run Flash anyway. Stop being an ignorant moron, and stop spewing nonsense. Educate yourself instead of making a fool of yourself.
