<P><FONT face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">Mr. President of Ninty, Satoru Iwata, has been discussing the Online DS plans with Japanese publication 'Game Watch'. The launch of such a system, previously stated for release in 2005, now looks even juicier! Heres some of the key points you can expect to see with the Nintendo DS... in Japan anyways:</FONT></P><UL><LI><FONT face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">There will be over 1000 'Hotspots' for Nintendo DS players to connect too using the DS' inbuilt Wi-Fi system, so they can play against other Nintendo DS players, whether connecting through a 'Hotpsot' or Home Router, for FREE!!</FONT></LI><LI><FONT face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">Games will be free to play online, with the exception of certain third-party games, where the third-party in question can charge for such an online service (Such as SEGA does with <EM>PSO</EM> Via. a Hunters License).</FONT></LI></UL><P><FONT face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">Nintendo have also stated that the DS will be compatible with the Nintendo Revolution console. Of course, you can expect to see more at E3, in just over a weeks time! Who, knows, this could be the opening for a <EM>PSO</EM>...</FONT></P>

Hehe, aparently in Europe, there will be over 100 hotspots in stores, but they wont be online hotspots because getting nintendo internet connections into shops would be very costly and not very effective, but it will however have free downloads for people to store on their DS!

I sure hope the downloads include an MP3 player and an FM radio!

The hotspots will probably be like in Japan game stores, where you can download little demo versions of games to try. Sounds good to me!

[Faulkie]

Wow, this will be great! I'd love to play people I don't even know!

PSO vanished quite quickly from the tba list for ds software tho *scratches head* i yet have to see that happening to really believe it.
