Nintendo has announced the first DSiWare games that will be available for next week's launch of the new Nintendo DSi on April 5th. Here are the games, some of which look like slimmed down versions of previous Nintendo games, but utilizing the unique capabilities of the DSi:

WarioWare™: Snapped! – Using the built-in Nintendo DSi camera, this outrageous title puts players right at the center of fast-paced mini-games, challenging them to race the clock and get a peek at Wario’s photo album.

Bird & Beans™ – Using an elastic tongue, players must scramble to collect falling beans. The harder a bean is to catch, the more points it’s worth.

Brain Age™ Express: Math – In this math-focused edition of the popular Brain Age series, players can enjoy a mix of new and familiar training exercises. A new Themes mode also lets Nintendo DSi users experiment with images and voice recordings in fun, unusual ways.

Master of Illusion™ Express: Funny Face – This game uses your Nintendo DSi as a prop in a card trick. Draw a face on the touch screen and astound your audience as the face tells them which playing card they picked.

Art Style™: AQUIA™ – The newest addition to the eye-popping Art Style series, this mesmerizing underwater puzzle game challenges players to help a scuba diver reach the ocean floor by matching a series of colored blocks.

Nintendo also noted that the Opera powered DSi Browser will be available for free for web browsing.

Don't forget, you'll be eligible to redeem 1000 points ($10) for free if you log into the DSi Shop before October 5, 2009. See Nintendo's website here at dsioffer.nintendo.com for more information on the point bonus for early adopters.
