Nintendo Considering 3G For Next DS?

Nintendo DSi

In an interview with the Financial Times, Nintendo are considering adding free 3G to the next DS system. They propose adding an addition fee to the cost of the unit in order to provide this service.

“Only people who can pay thousands of yen a month [in mobile phone subscriptions] can be iPhone customers. That doesn’t fit Nintendo customers because we make amusement products. In reality, if we did this it would increase the cost of the hardware, and customers would complain about Nintendo putting prices up, but it is one option for the future.”
