No plans for exclusive DSi software
Nintendo has confirmed there will be no exclusive flagship titles to back the DSi's Japanese launch next week.

"As we've historically done, you'll see us do interesting things with software to take advantage of the hardware capabilities," Nintendo executive vice president of sales and marketing Cammie Dunaway told Wired.

"As [Nintendo president] Mr. Iwata talked about last night, this new memo pad is one of the cool technologies. It's not necessarily a game, but it certainly enables people to act as an animator and use their photographs in an interesting and entertaining way."

It is thought that Nintendo is relying on the DSi's online store and improved web browsing support to provide an incentive for gamers to upgrade to the new hardware.

The DSi arrives in Europe in spring 2009.
