Oh wow, the DSi is doing something cool again!

Beaten down after years of cheap licensed shovelware, outshined by the iPhone’s indie-loving App Store, and seemingly the least powerful handheld around, the Nintendo DSi just got a whole lot more relevant! By way of my potential new favorite site, Tiny Cartridge, comes this mind blowing video of Rittai Kakushi e Attakoreda (roughly: Hidden 3D Image: There It Is!).

Half Hidden Object Game, half levelHead, it’s downloadable stuff like this that Nintendo desperately needs to make people take the DS seriously again. Capitalizing on the dual cameras for augmented reality stuff should’ve been Priority No.1 but the pickings are tragically slim to date. We can’t even get the cameras unlocked on Jigapix to make our own jigsaw puzzle pictures. I hope, hope, hope Nintendo brings this one to the U.S. as soon as possible. It’d be one more reason to justify me buying a DSi XL.
