"Hello and thank you for contacting Nintendo,


Nintendo of America Inc. provides product support for the United States and
Canada only. With that said, the sleep mode you asked about was not included in
the North American version of the Nintendo DS system. However, as your
feedback is extremely important to Nintendo, we have forwarded your e-mail to
the appropriate departments for further review. While they may not be able to
respond personally to your e-mail, your comments will be heard.

Sincerely,

Nintendo of America Inc.
Dervin Camden"

The sleep mode will be in the European one, so that if someone nearby wants to play, your DS will make a noise. Kind of unfair.

Yeah but the issue here is that these guys will tell you first, I mean a random guy who happens to be sitting on the same bus is probably not gonna challenge you.

Then again, they may.

Not that it makes a difference.
Who was ever going to play with YOU anyway! :-P

That explains why mine makes no noise in sleep mode then.

Dringo. You're such an over-reactionary! :-)


The thing is, I can't imagine anyone challenging me to a game without talking to me face to face first.
Maybe in a future utopia where we all carry out game machines with us at all times, ready for the next challenge that might come my way.

I know I'd loved all this wireless/sleep/etc when people were wandering around with their Pokémon games. Just to challenge random people without even meeting them, and slaughtering their Pokémon (that they probably used a "Rare Candy" cheat to level up) while going about my every day business!

Oh dear, lack of noise = failure for the Nintendo DS.

Oh right. I'm not too bothered about that anyway, no big loss.

Well, I contacted Nintendo. And yes, it does have sleep mode, but it doesn't have a feature where it makes a noise if someone nearby wants to play.
