Just yesterday we wrote about Nintendo releasing 100 French classics for the Nintendo DX. Today, the company announced they are doing the same for the US market. The company will release a “100 Classic Books” in June to coincide with the the US launch of Nintendo DSi XL, a handheld video game player with a screen twice the size of the regular Nintendo DS and wider viewing angles.

“It’s not really about trying to take on the e-book market,” said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo’s executive vp of sales and marketing for North America said an interview with Bloomberg News. “It’s just one more way to enjoy your device.”
