I'm not sure of all the details. The guy only recently announced that that's his secret project (he actually had a closed curtain showing of it at E3). I'm pretty certain it will work with single cart games, since all the cartridge less systems do is sit and wait for the data to be sent to them so they know what to do. Will he sell them individually, in packages of two, or packeges of 4? I think the middle one would be best. It would indeed be great fun to play someone across the house or across a plane just by plugging them in, setting them to the right frequency, and going from there. I THINK there will be switches to determine who is what player number. The next step from here? Online support via cell phone! Nintendo's little cell phone link for Pokémon Crystal (Japan only) was a GREAT idea, if only American cell phones all had the same link port (though pretty soon I think they will standardize that). This is an awesome first step though that I think will once again force Nintendo's hand :D.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
