DSi photo sharing to Facebook coming this fall

by Randy Nelson { Jun 2nd 2009 at 12:58PM }

Nintendo has just announced that it is planning a way for sharing photos taken using the DSi's built-in cameras with the world. Beginning this fall (and presumably via a firmware update) the handheld will be able to send snapshots directly to its owner's Facebook page. Exactly how the transfer process will work hasn't been detailed, but it can't be that difficult, can it?

seems like facebook has a thing for video game consoles.

360 to DS connectivity confirmed?

No, artard. It Just Confirms that you can upload to facebook.

So I'll be able to see those pictures on my 360? This whole handheld/ console connectivity is finally coming together.

Not like I care much, since I read every article anyway, but I find it interesting how this is breaking news and Monkey Island is not :P

First, you'll have to trade friend codes with Facebook, to connect your accounts.

Then, you'll have to trade friend codes again with your friends on facebook, and they'll have to trade codes with Facebook, and then we can all be nice and safe trading photos wrapped in lung-crushing bubble wrap.

I hate the DSi camera. Such crappy quality. I would never share my DSi pictures with facebook. o-o;

Yeah. The DSi camera is for fun, not photography. I'd keep the camera for games and stuff, not Facebook. But saying that, I'll probably end up using the app anyway. :D

you cant even say the DSi camera sucks, i took a picture and put it onto facebook and its way better than most cameras out there... so if you say it sucks, then you probably never used a DSi... and i can say that because i have one.

No, the camera in the DSi is not anywhere NEAR good. It's .3 megapixel. Not "3", but ".3" It's great for takign a quick snap to share with friends, which makes the Facebook integration a great idea, but nobody is going to be making 3x5 prints from these any time soon...
