What’s DSi About Gameloft’s DSi Games [GDC 2009]

[wraggster]

I got to play two of Gameloft’s DSi offerings, “American Pop Star: Road to Celebrity” and “Real Soccer 2009.” The thing I wanted to know most was how these two DSi versions of existing games make use of the DSi functionality. I was told that “American Pop Star” lets players take their own photos with the DSi camera that will appear throughout the game, like on magazine covers (pictured). Meanwhile “Real Soccer 2009″ takes the DSi photos and can display them on the soccer ball, the giant stadium screen, a team flag or as a player’s face. It seems that a lot of DSi titles will let players take photos that appear in the game, but it’d be nice to see more innovative ways of integrating the DSi camera function.
