40 DS Wi-Fi titles now in development

Our friends at Famitsu managed to attend a GDC seminar entitled "The Zen of Wi-Fi: A Postmortem of the Wireless Features of Nintendo DS" and, as most journalists are prone to do, quickly converted their experience into an informative article. Unfortunately, being of Japanese origin, said wonderful article had to be put through an internet translation service before we could make any sense of it. Curse our bizarre Western tongues!

Regardless, the most interesting bit of news to emerge from the conference is one directly involving the universal language of numbers. According to Takao Ohara, amusingly dubbed as the "Ohara your husband person" of Nintendo by Google's linguistic trolls, there are currently 40 Wi-Fi DS games en route for release. He also made an effort to point out that the forthcoming Winning Eleven (Pro Evolution Soccer for the Europeans and soccer hooligans among us) was one of them, shortly before pulling his shirt over his head and doing an energetic backflip.

The Nintendo Wi-Fi service is certainly taking off with gusto--and this from a company that once claimed gamers weren't interested in all those online shenanigans. We all make misteaks mistakes, right?

[Thanks Terrell!]

Hopefully CFC is one of them.

They should release a wi fi Zelda 4 swords type adventure.

I really hope PSO is one of these games, I mean COME ON - how well would this work on the DS - it would be awesome.

Either that or FF:CC.

Soniku · Mar 29, 2006

We need a game that gets communication to work correctly and can support more than 4 players... Seriously...

SECOND THAT

I just can't wait for Winning Eleven DS to come out. That will be awesome for WiFi play.

kernow · May 30, 2006

last time .. I was exclaming "where the fuck is tetris"

2 weeks later it got announced \o/

this time, I am screaming/pleading "where the fuck is PSO"

:emb:

I had a very smart idea when I selected a DS over the PSP.

A multiplayer super robot taisen would be awesome.

MilkManX · May 31, 2006

Oh man...PSO on the DS would be bad. I would sneak off at work to the local Coffee Shop with the Wi-Fi.

Diggerman · Jun 6, 2006

PSO on DS would be awesome.

But can the game fit on a DS cart? I believe the DS carts currently max out at 128MB, and I think I read that 256MB DS carts are coming in the future. How big was the actual code portion of PSO on the DC for example?

Graphically it could be done I think, just not as pretty as the console versions. But the DS could certainly do a reasonable version of the visuals with enough effort.

The touch screen would really be great for a touch keyboard.

You know the idea would be genius.

Hell, you could have the bottom screen be a keyboard all the time.

Yeah, but apparently no one can figure out how to utilize it properly alongside games while they're online... ><

I think that new Tony Hawk game was announced to allow you to play online while talking with up to 4 people simultaneously, or maybe it was something else, I'm not sure.

TylerDurden6282 · Jun 6, 2006

Speaking of the fucking Mic. is anyone else having poblems with theirs. When my roomates and I play Brain Age it can't register certain words.

fatal fury fan #2 · Jun 6, 2006

what about Contra Wifi?? :buttrock:

TylerDurden6282 · Jun 7, 2006

Contra Wi-fi would be fucking amazing....

Or

Ikari Warriors... of course I'd rather see this title on the Wii.

TylerDurden6282 · Jun 7, 2006

Another title I would kill for.

Well lets wait until a game that supports voice actually comes out...
