Nintendo Officially Announces MP3 Player

We already reported on Nintendo's first party MP3 player for the Nintendo DS back in September. Today, Nintendo makes it official.

Lucky owners of the Nintendo DS will soon be able to enjoy more than just games from their favourite handheld console with the Nintendo MP3 Player. Launching across Europe on 8th December 2006. Nintendo fans can use their handheld console as a fully-fledged, high quality MP3 player.

With this addition, gamers now only have to carry one device to enjoy two of their favourite pastimes : gaming and music. This simple, easy to use accessory allows Nintendo fans to enjoy around 150 of their selected songs with a 512MB SD memory card, whilst on the move. Each song's title information will be clearly listed on the Nintendo DS screen so songs can be easily selected.

The Nintendo MP3 Player doesn't just work with the Nintendo DS though, it is also fully compatible with the Game Boy Advance SP and Game Boy Micro as the cartridge will slot into the Game Boy Advance port on all the Nintendo handheld consoles.

The Nintendo MP3 Player launches across Europe on 8th December 2006 at the estimated retail price of around 30 euro's.
