WiiNintendo

I called it! Yesterday, the DSi Browser was updated in Europe and Japan (and Ugoku Memo was updated in Japan). I predicted that this update was going to release alongside the DSi firmware update that Nintendo promised at E3, which would add the ability to post photos directly to Facebook. Well, as I predicted, firmware version 1.4 was released today for Europe, Japan, and Australia so far.

The new firmware adds Facebook Connect and makes the DSi Camera faster. It also happens to block all current flashcards that work on the DSi. It is possible that the flashcards can be updated to work on version 1.4, but for now this proves that Nintendo is taking action against flashcards. No word on a DSi System Update or DSi Browser update for the US yet. If I had to guess, I’d predict it will come on Monday alongside the rumored US release of Flipnote Studio. We’ll just have to wait and see.
