An Anime Box Set Designed For The Nintendo DS

By Spencer . April 9, 2009 . 1:32pm

The DS Vision system which enabled users to download movies, manga, and TV shows for a price on the Nintendo DS never quite caught on. Now AM3’s technology is being bundled with anime.

Retailer Rakuten is taking pre-orders for such a package. The Duel Masters box set has 26 episodes, the entire first season of the series, spread out on three microSD cards. Users place the microSD cards into a DS Vision adapter to watch the show on their DS.

Duel Masters may not be your thing, but this looks like the start of a new trend from AM3. Last year they bundled Pokemon movies with the DS Vision adapter. Perhaps, more anime box sets or TV shows packages are in the works.

I'm guessing the video appears on the tope screen and the bottom has the player function?
I was hoping to draw a mustache on Jigglypuff's face or something.

lol, I thought it was kid Goku at first glance. The DS vision thing was on sale for less than $20, but there just isn't any manga or anime I would want to read or watch on the small DS screen. I thought they had given up on it entirely since DSi has a SD card slot now, but the usage for that is limited I suppose.
