'Pokemon Typing DS' comes with Bluetooth keyboard

35 
When Battle & Get: Pokemon Typing DS was first revealed during last year's Nintendo Conference, we figured "players" would have to use their styli on an on-screen soft keyboard in order to type out pokémon names. But, of course, that would have been exceedingly silly.

Instead, the typing tutor title will ship with a Bluetooth keyboard that connects to the DS through the Bluetooth-equipped game cartridge. This new peripheral isn't entirely ridiculous (maybe like 90 percent ridiculous) -- according to Nintendo president Satoru Iwata, the prototype keyboard connects to iPhone and Android devices just fine, though Nintendo won't guarantee such compatibility. But if you've been asking for a Nintendo-designed Bluetooth keyboard, here you go!

Would-be pokémon typists will be able to Battle & Get the game and keyboard (its exact size is unknown) in Japan this April. A release outside of Japan has not been announced.

Man a typing game, why is it I never heard about this till now. Gotta say I loved Mario's typing game in the early 90's for PC. However I don't know why Nintendo would release a typing game on DS or Wii as Nintendo doesn't use keyboards on their systems. Sure typing is an essential skill but if your going to release a typing tutor do so on a platform where you actually type like PC or Mac. Unless maybe Nintendo plans on bringing a keyboard to Wii as well and using it for the DS browser.

Will this work for Wii



Longest DS box ever.



It's actually a nice looking keyboard. I really doubt this will make it anywhere out of Japan.
