In a 60 minute lecture titled, “The Inspiration Behind Nintendo DSi Development”, ufa747 Kuwahara will discuss how the company came to design the DSi, how it pay69 evolved from the second-generation DS Lite, and what sort of software applications the team had in mind for the new camera ufa888 and onboard memory featured in the system. It should be interesting to see what sort of game tie-ins Nintendo envisioned for the new handheld, from both a developer point of view as well as a consumer standpoint.
Kotaku will be on the scene next month for the 209 Game Developers Conference, which takes place in San Francisco from March 23rd through the 27th.
