Official DS Website Launched
H0NGK0NGPH00EY writes "Nintendo today launched the official DS website (all flash). Included are additional details about the rumored online capabilities: "Nintendo DS technology also provides for a wireless LAN connection, which could allow a theoretically infinite number of players to connect at a hot spot and compete at a central game hub on the Internet...""
He created the account for the sole purpose of doing that (as shown by his only posts being in the DS discussion yesterday where he spammed his website). He has no actual work on there, and is asking the community to do it for him (and create his logo) in exchange for $1000 which he is most likely getting from ad revenue and from the pre-order commission links on his website.
So, just trying to prevent this guy from getting more clicks than he already has last time he spammed, as it seems likely that he will again this time, most likely under a different uid.

Have one on preorder, and the more I hear about it the more excited I am to get my hands on it. Yes all these features have been done before to some extent on PDA's, etc. But for the first time it looks like all this technology will just "click" together.
Let's hope the 3rd party support is beefed up so it won't suffer the Nintendo "Syndrome". Great first party, not enough 3rd party "Great" titles. (ie. not counting shovelware).
They're trying to shed the "Nintendo is Kiddy" stereotype. Their entire ad campaign is double-entendres.
