Nintendo Allows Japanese DS Gamers Taste of Wireless

Posted by Zonk on Saturday February 26, 2005 @08:32AM from the get-mario-out-of-that-kiosk dept.

Gamespot has the word that Nintendo will be allowing Japanese gamers a full taste of the DS' wireless capabilities. DS owners will be able to download content at kiosks in selected stores across Japan. From the article: "[Downlaoded] demos will remain on the DS units 'until power is turned off.' The one exception is some additional music for Jam with the Band. 'After turning off power, the [Jam with the Band] data remains,'"

Depending upon how well this works this could be the DS's real differnation between it and a PSP (though the PSP does have wireless, so they might be able to do something similar).

As you noted, this isn't actually a differentiation, so I don't know why this is Interesting. What IS different is that on the PSP you would be able to SAVE what you download thanks to Memory Stick Duo support.
