Nintendo and NTT DoCoMo are reportedly teaming up in order to create a voice-to-text system that’ll help hearing-impaired children study. Using a modified DSi , speech is converted into text which is then archived in the cloud — accessible afterward as a learning aid. That way, a teacher can have their words instantly typed up for reading by the students, who can also play interactive games to help them get along

Nintendo’s third quarter financial briefing just spilled the beans on the recently spied Nintendo Network , causing Nintendo fans everywhere to collectively sigh, “It’s about time.” Company head honcho Satoru Iwata says the network will offer “competitions and communication among users, as well as the sales of digital content,” and in the case of the Wii U, will introduce personal user accounts. Iwata stopped just short of confirming that the Nintendo Network will end the company’s policy of tying downloaded titles to Nintendo hardware, rather than individual users, but mentioned that it packed an infrastructure that supports not only add-on content, but fully downloadable retail games as well.

3DS owners have been waiting (and waiting ) for a chance to take advantage of a downloadable content market, and while Nintendo already accomplished the tough part (read: launching it ) a few days back, there’s still been no word on when paid content would make an appearance. Pushing those freebies aside is Theatrhythm Final Fantasy, which is seemingly destined to be the first 3DS title in existence to offer up enhancements in exchange for a few yen. The box here is actually an “early retail dummy unit,” though the verbiage on the back makes quite clear that downloadable material will be available at a cost
