Ahead of the release of Nintendo’s rejuvenated DSi in Europe and North America some time next year, Nintendo has patented a number of DS-related titles that could offer a sneak peek at the plans the firm has for its machine.

The eclectic list points to all sorts of possible software, or even hardware, releases for the machine over the coming years, with hints towards, sat-nav software, movie downloads, mobile telephony, email, TV and e-books clear to see.

To see the complete list of patents, head over to MCV's blossoming online cousin, CasualGaming.biz.
