The latest Nintendo Power to hit the newsstands contains an official confirmation that, indeed, the Opera browser for the DS will be released in Japanese stores by June 2006 - and current speculation is that it’ll have a US street date of December. Impossibly far away for we Americans, yeah, but at least we can all be assured that, at any rate, it’s not vaporware.

Check out the scan that GoNintendo dug up, and marvel. It’s only, like, half a year until we can all browse the Internet on the go.
