Nintendo is to bring hand writing recognition software to its handheld console - the Nintendo DS.

"With Decuma, Nintendo DS users will experience natural handwriting recognition previously only available to PDA and smartphone users”, said Milos Djokovic, Chief Technical Cfficer and Chief Operating Officer, Zi Corporation, the company providing the technology to implement the recognition software.

Although no games have been announced that feature the new software, the deal means that future games may include handwriting element to them like solving puzzles such as Su Doku or crosswords easily.
