Opera for Nintendo DSi is fast!

, ,

The guys over at N+ just posted a video comparing the old Nintendo DS browser to the DSi browser. The results should speak for themselves. The old browser can't even touch the updated DSi browser when it comes to speed. Check it out. And look out for the ending :smile:

What's nice is that the DSi browser is completely free of charge. You can simply download it from the DSi store and start browsing!

Why the Nintendo DSi browser doesn't support Flash

The DSi browser is out in Japan, and I have seen quite a few disappointed comments on the lack of Flash support. It would have been great for videos on the go, but one needs to keep the technical specifications of the DSi in mind, which seem to be below even the Flash Lite system requirements.

In addidion to that, Nintendo is Opera Software's customer, and that means that Nintendo calls the shots. If the DSi had been powerful enough to support Flash Lite, it would have been up to Nintendo whether to include it or not.

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