Giving gamers two windows to the Web: The Opera Browser for Nintendo
DS™
Oslo, Norway - February 15, 2006: Opera Software today announced that
it will deliver the World Wide Web to Nintendo DS users in Japan.

In Opera's agreement with Nintendo, Nintendo DS users will now be able
to surf the full Internet from their systems using the Opera browser.
The Opera browser for Nintendo DS will be sold as a DS card. Users
simply insert the card into the Wi- Fi enabled Nintendo DS, connect to
a network, and begin browsing on two screens.

Earlier this year, Nintendo reported that 13 million Nintendo DS
systems were sold to consumers around the world within just 13 months
of its debut in November 2004. Nintendo DS combines unique dual
screens, touch screen, voice recognition and wireless and Wi-Fi
communications capabilities. According to an independent market
research company in Japan, Nintendo DS has become the fastest selling
video games machine to top the six million sales mark in Japan in just
over 14 months since its Japanese debut, breaking the old record held
by Nintendo's Game Boy Advance.

"The incredibly popular Nintendo DS is already Wi-Fi enabled to support
real time gaming, so adding Web browsing capabilities was a natural
evolution for this device," says Scott Hedrick, Executive Vice
President, Opera Software. "Gaming devices are growing more advanced
and a great Web experience is becoming a product differentiator for
gaming manufacturers. Opera is excited to work with Nintendo to deliver
a unique dual screen, full Internet experience on Nintendo DS."

With an on-screen keypad and stylus, users can easily navigate the Web
from their Nintendo DS with PDA-like functionality. Based on the same
core as the Opera desktop browser, Opera delivers superior speed and
rendering of Web pages on the Nintendo DS.

"Within just five seconds of turning on the system, the Nintendo DS is
already fully operational. This makes it the ideal device to enable
people to swiftly obtain the latest information from the internet,
wherever they are," says Masaru Shimomura, Deputy General Manager of
Nintendo's R & D Department. "Opera exceeded our expectations with its
user friendly interface, quick access to all your favorite sites, ease
of use and, most importantly, in making the best use of the Nintendo DS
system's unique double screens and touch screen features. Opera is an
important partner for Nintendo in our efforts to further expand the
users of the Nintendo DS."

Nintendo Co., Ltd. held a presentation today in Tokyo, Japan, to
announce updates for the Nintendo DS. Information on the availability
of the Opera browser DS card has not yet been announced.
