"Consirn about DS online."

Not too long to wait until the DS becomes online compatible, which is a good reason to rejoice! Or is it? While the idea of playing many great handheld games with or against many people across the globe is a brilliant one, I have one major consirn... the battery life!

Given the short power of the DS' battery- and the amount of time we will(undoubtably) be taking advantage of the opportunity to play Ninty's games online for FREE- I assume that the DS could go off at any minute. This could possibly interfere with not only the owner of said DS, but also the people on the other end. Picture this for instance:

You are in second place on Mario Kart DS and are about to pass the person in the lead. They pass you again, but you manage to grab a red shell that you intend on lunging at the leader. You hit him/her and make your way to first again. As you near the finishing line, just a couple of feet away... Vvdump(the sound of the DS shutting off). This may also stop your opponents dead in their tracks with an error message or the like. Leaving many angry kart drivers.

There are many mysteries of the DS' online capabilities as of now, however, but I hope that Nintendo have already thought about this before hand. Perhaps it might not even use the system's battery power and use a different source. Does anyone know anything about this issue?

Like someone(s) said below, play with the charger plugged in if you´re worried.

AC online will pwn.

Hoe do you get online with the DS, what do you need?

I wonder if he uses a mobile phone. For they use limited-life Li-ion batteries too.

It is possible that their dialysis machines are controlled by a DS on a wireless network.

One dead battery and their kidneys could be pumped full of soup from the vending machine.

Unless they're hooked to a life-support machine that, er, runs on batteries. :D

also, even if you do manage to get past the 500 recharges, you can easily get anouther battery for a coouple of quid

It means that he's one big p*ss-taking mofo.
