Quote:Hideki Konno: Two of them. Wireless capabilities is extremely promising, and we'll be able to do a lot more features with it in the future than what you've seen here. I like the idea that someone with a DS can wander into an area with other DS system and automatically send over a copy of a game to that system for multiplayer. The voice recognition is another feature that we didn't have time to expand on and show off at E3.
This was in an interview on IGN with two of the software developers for the DS, the full article can be read here.
I'm pretty sure you guys have already read it or some thing but the point I am trying to show is that one of the things that IGN wanted to see on the PSP is being done on the DS and I can't help but feel the DS is going to bring out a new side to multiplayer that not even I could have imagined, for me thats a little exciting I don't know about you guys, but the idea of being able to walk into a room and see two people playing a multiplayer game then turning on my own DS and joining in on it even without the said game then whuping some ass without them even knowing who the other person is, it's kinda cool if you ask me and it's sure to make those long train rides seem a little shorter, of course I am tempted to try and play it while driving my car but I don't think there is any thing you can tell a police officer when your seen swerving from side to side.
(I tend to find the excuse that I was drunk doesn't work well with them either so don't bother)
Yeah right, next your going to tell me the world is round....
