Nintendo has announced Facebook integration in the DSi handheld, following a recent firmware update that will now allow you to upload pictures taken on the handheld right to your FB profile.
The integration is now available in the US, EU, Australia and Japan.
According to GI.biz, “the update means that when users are reviewing photos they have stored in their DSi camera album, they see a Facebook icon on the touchscreen which, when tapped, instantly transmits the photo to the user’s Facebook profile.”
“Facebook and Nintendo DSi build on the trend of personalisation that is so important to consumers,” adds Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America’s executive VP of sales and marketing. “We’re giving people the tools to express themselves in creative new ways and show off the results to their friends and family on Facebook.”
