Nintendo DSi App Store Worldwide Rollout Pending DSiWare International Availability

Japan may have had Nintendo's DSi app Store, known as DSiWare, for a
while now but those outside of Japan will be encouraged to learn that
Nintendo's DSiWare Store looks like its going to get its international
rollout in the (possibly not so near) future.

Serving as Nintendo's take on Apple's App store (as well as Goolge's
Android Marketplace), the DSiWare store is the realisation of Nintendo's
increasing interest in getting third party application producers to take
up producing applications for Nintendo's new iteration of the DS in a
bid to open up the variety of software applications (known as
'short-form content') available to DSi end users which will take the
form of both games and non-game downloadable programs.

Nintendo is keen to have developers offering all kinds of software
once the DSi store fully launches for access in Europe and America said
what the Develop website state as a 'development source', with another
stating that Nintendo is keen to have developers offering all kinds of
software once the DSi store fully launches for access in Europe and
America'.

It's thought that the wider international rollout of DSiWare may be
offered at the up and coming Game Developers Conference in San Francisco
next week by Nintendo president Satoru Iwata who is set to talk about
Nintendo's role in creating better tools and bringing opportunities for
developers to introduce their innovative ideas to a marketplace that is
increasingly willing and eager to embrace new game design possibilities.

We will, of course, keep our ears firmly pressed to the ground.
