Title kind of says it all really. Iwata-san says the DS will have wireless network connections between one another. I'm happy, it should increase multi-player gaming as you dont have to buy and carry around those leads.

He also mentioned "the Nintendo DS will be innovative but not a huge seller". Didn't someone say a few weeks ago Nintendo was counting on this to sell very well or they'd be "crushed"? Guess they must have changed their minds quick. Another tidbit: "At the least, it should serve as a hint towards [our] next-generation console." I'm guessing at the very least he's talking wireless networking between GBA2s and N5s.. but I hope there's more.

The rest of the interview is usual Nintendo-spiel, that gamers don't want games with better graphics, etc. Well, it would be nice.

Nah, it means Ninty are quickly ramming every gimmick they can think of into this knee-jerk console.

Remember kids, two is ALWAYS better than one.

POP anyone?

Apparently a a two hour movie has been squeezed onto a DS game disk/card thing. Could this mean Ninty are going to have other media support of some sort?
