Gamespot is reporting that original Nintendo DS owners looking to surf the web will have to get their browser fix online. The Nintendo DS Browser currently being solicited at retailers is only for the DS Lite model and won't work on the original, considerably more hideous DS.
Nintendo has taken a similar approach in the past with its music/toy/thing Electroplankton only available via online retailers. While that decision may not have registered well with some Nintendo fans, this seems like a smart move. The market for a DS-based browser is probably small enough as it is, with two versions of a very similar looking product side-by-side on store shelves sure to sow customer confusion.
The Opera-based browser is due this June for an MSRP of $34.99. Great for extremely tiny porn on the go!
