Hello, Dexter Morgan!

Posted Image[xtable]joystiq.com had the chance to sit down and talk to David Young, the assistant PR manager for Nintendo of America while at the Nintendo DSi launch party in America. Lots of interesting things were mentioned:

On the topic of VC for GBA/GB:
 
That's sort of the hot topic, a lot of folks want to know about that. At this point, it's nothing that we've announced yet. It's still kind of "wait and see.

Regarding the Personal Trainer series:
 
We've got Personal Trainer: Walking coming out that's going to be really interesting. That comes with two pedometers ... well they're actually "activity meters," so they have more functionality than a pedometer.

They will connect wirelessly. On the edge of the DS cartridge there's a window, and that's an infrared connection. You can take your meter for a week, and download a full week's worth of activity, and it tracks it day by day and hour by hour so you can see how active you are and at what times. It's also the first title where you can import a Mii character from your Wii. You can even create a Mii character of your dog and put one of the activity meters on your dog's collar. So you can profile your dog and see what they're doing at home while you're at work.

I must admit I find the idea of attaching one of these pedometers to myself and my dog quite appealing, probably more so my dog so that I can see what she gets up to when I'm not around.

Mii's on the DS would be interesting. It would be great if you could just copy your Mii from the Wii! Ultimately it won't be any good unless there are games made to use them.

On one hand I'm really looking forward to gba/ds games for download but on the other hand I have so many and do see myself buying them again. I guess it's the same for the virtual console on the Wii. There are a lot of games that I would play, but I have them sitting in a box at my parents place.

I am Trin
 Nintendo has said lots of things unofficially about the VC for ages. So I'm pretty positive we will see it in some form at one stage.

Personal Tranner has Mii's yes- but I wonder if Nintendo will bring them to the DS for everything.
