Nintendo announced that a new Facebook sharing feature will be coming to the Nintendo DSi today. A system update for the Nintendo DSi will be released today after 5pm PST. After downloading the System Update (from the DSi Menu's "System Settings" and "System Update" section), you'll be able to share your pictures taken on the Nintendo DSi through your Facebook account.

Here are the details from Nintendo on the Facebook Photo integration:

"Starting today, Nintendo DSi™ owners have even more ways to share their experiences with friends and family. Using an Internet-connected Nintendo DSi system and the Nintendo DSi Camera application, Facebook members can take pictures with either of the system's two cameras and upload their photos directly to their Facebook profile. This function will be available after 5 p.m. Pacific with a free downloadable system update.

While reviewing pictures they've stored in the Nintendo DSi Camera album, which includes photos taken by users and manipulated using the built-in interactive lenses, users can simply tap the Facebook icon on the system's touch screen to instantly transmit photos to the user's Facebook profile. The user's system must be configured to a wireless broadband Internet connection for the transmission of photos.

"Facebook and Nintendo DSi build on the trend of personalization that is so important to consumers," said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America's executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. "We're giving people the tools to express themselves in creative new ways and show off the results to their friends and family on Facebook."

The Nintendo DSi is currently available in Matte Black and Matte Blue. See more on the Nintendo DSi here.
