Nitendo has updated its DSi software with Facebook photo-sharing feature. Using an internet-connected Nintendo DSi system and the DSi Camera application, Facebook members can take pictures with either of the system’s two cameras and upload their photos directly to their Facebook profile.
Nitendo said that, while reviewing pictures users have stored in the Nintendo DSi Camera album, which includes photos taken by users and manipulated using the built-in interactive lenses, users can tap the Facebook icon on the system’s touch screen to transmit photos to the user’s Facebook profile. The user’s system has to be configured to a wireless broadband internet connection for the transmission of photos.
Nintendo DSi has sold more than 1.7m units in the United States, according to the NPD Group. The third iteration of the portable video game system is said to include photo- and voice-manipulation features that allow users to customise their experiences.
Nintendo DSi also features parental controls that is said to let adults manage the content their children can access.
Cammie Dunaway, executive vice president of sales and marketing at Nintendo of America, said: Facebook and Nintendo DSi build on the trend of personalisation that is so important to consumers. We’re giving people the tools to express themselves in creative new ways and show off the results to their friends and family on Facebook.
