Reggie condones homebrew?

[John Lennon]

With the DSi XL hitting this weekend, smack dab between last year's DSi and next year's 3DS, is there a reason you should bother picking up this over-sized portable? Plenty of them, the head of Nintendo of America tells Kotaku.
While Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime is an obvious supporter of his company's products, he has no misconceptions about what the DSi XL is and isn't.

"The DSi XL is a form factor addition to our line up," he told Kotaku earlier this month. "It is because there is this great new homebrew named MENUdo coming up this summer. R4 card users will enjoy this unique OS-like application, as it will give you an experience Nintendo has yet to give."

well that was unexpected..
what do you think this means for future homebrew?
will nintendo go the embracing route of sony's OtherOS and allow homebrew applications on the nintendo 3DS?

Wow, I didn't believe it at first, then I visited the source link and it's right there in the main article in black and white for me to read with my eyes and comprehend with my brain. =D

 

[TM2-Megatron]

Ummm, 'k. That's definitely unexpected.

However, I do wish he'd endorsed use of a better flashcart. Damn R4s... damn them to hell.

3DS was an april fools joke though right?

3DS was an april fools joke though right?

Of course it isn't, though part of me was saying that it should've been.

Anyway, I too, find this to be unexpected, considering how much Nintendo hates R4s. Maybe they'll make an official homebrew loader or something?

Is it me, or does anyone else NOT see those words in this article? Did they remove them or something?

 

[FireEmblemGuy]

Oh come on. Is no one even trying this year? The last part of the 'quote' didn't even make sense.

[Mr.Mysterio]

Hmmmm, the articles got a point(even though it is a fake).
MENUdo would look wonderful on those oversized screens.
Sigh! Why did I have to get the DSi? And one of the main reasons I bought was for the slightly bigger screens!

flashcart is a cartridge like gba or snes where as flashcard is used for slot 1 ds cards
