nintendo DS revealed!

[A Black Falcon]

Anyway, the format would be easy enough, IF IT WASN'T FOR STUPID SOFTWARE THIEFS. Otherwise, it would have to be some nonaccessible file. Ugh, honestly it's just sickening about this, and you claim it doesn't hurt anyone when pirates do that. Well, it hurt ME PERSONALLY. Besides that, one could take those cards and just download the data from kiosks in stores to them for cheaper than buying a brand new card with the game on it. It would be just like the olden days of the floppy disks and the Famicom Disk System add-on. I still think it would be cool if they did that, but oh well. Honestly, I am not Nintendo's accountant, I just want to have fun, so I don't care about their own personal risk in this.

No, I disagree. It's not just about piracy. It's also about money. Let's think about it. As N_A says, these cards get expensive as they get big. Like with carts most companies want to save money. So, how many companies are going to get a card size much larger than they need just to leave a big block of space for downloading stuff? Because it'd have to be big, or it'd get very frusterating.

Right, that list has one name on it: Nintendo. No one else would, I bet. Or wouldn't do it more than once... honestly, if you want this (and I still see very little use for it), use either what Nintendo mentioned -- that is, Wi-Fi connections to a PC -- or some connectivity to Gamecube and there to a SD card, somehow. Either of those are much more realistic and much more likely to actually get any support from anyone.
