The Nintendo DS Announcement / Conspiracy

[Jive3D]

I'm very surprised that this news has not hit these boards yet...

Info, news reports and chat boards are all indicating that a large announcment will take place this month FROM Nintendo regarding something BIG about the DS. Most sources think that this could be TRUE wireless gaming, like what I was hoping for in the DS price & date thread - and I mean using Wifi hotspots and repeaters to create a true wireless online gaming community.

This info is scattered all over many different boards, but Nintendojo.com has a good amount of information, and it's organized in an article rather than 14 pages of msg board posting and fanboy wet dreams.

It's a good time to be a gamer & an even better time to be a supporter of the DS...^_^

Yeh I heard about this, been intrigued all week. Aparently its got something to do with the warpipe team, who allow you to play lan enabled cube games online. I think nintnendo has bought them out or made them 3rd party.

My opinion is that nintendo have found away of making the ds online for free, and if not online, able to pick up other ds's in a large area maybe 3km so you can play with other people in your town.

I think nintendo has allways aimed to get a free online service of this source going.

hell if they pull this off it'd be a huge blow against the Sony PSP!

[Jive3D]

If all the speculation is true, then this could be awesome. Especially living in NYC. This announcement will no doubt determine if I get the DS at Launch or wait.

It's interesting stuff!

[Querjek]

Wow... the DS just keeps spounding better and better. This makes the whole "ilovebees" thing look like the work of a child in my eyes.

It sounds too good to be true and honestly I feel at this point that it very well may be. I'll wait until I see concrete evidence from a site with a little integrity, rather than creaming over the swill at nintendojo.

[pixelsnpolygons]

Interesting indeed.

[JSFox]

Wow, imagine playing Animal Crossing ONLINE. If this is true, I WILL buy the DS.

Yeah. Warpipe are defo doing something crazy. It's called domain squatting (alright, so they just registered an eerily similar site, same difference to me).

Now, over at WARP PIPE (two P's, like a pot of coffee will get ya) they're fooling purple boxes into thinking they're talking to each other in the confines of a living room, meanwhile they're really on the INTARNET!

I can see the potential of something like that, but c'mon now, it's not gonna take off with the Nintendo DS. It'll be a cool idea that about 5% of the users will actually take advantage of. If you're in that 5%, good for you, enjoy it. But to speak of this as a "blow against the PSP" is wishful thinking ... x_x

[DigitalSpace]

Ladies and Gentlemen, it's been leaked:

Sega is going to release "The Matrix DS."

Lame joke aside, this does seem interesting. Hmm...

[NintendoMan]

This is awesome!
Hopefully true. I will of course be getting one either way!!!!!!!!!!!
On launch day.

Dude... think about it... you could play Animal Crossing with someone in the UK, or you could play a 4 player game of Mario 64 with your friends all over the country.

[Jive3D]

I don't doubt that the rumors and rumblings are true here... I just wish that I had some new information to bring to the table - we might as well continue to watch Warp Pipe, Nitendojo, IGN and NSider for more deets this month.
