Nintendo Takes To The Airwaves

Posted by Zonk on Tuesday September 20, 2005 @08:18AM from the wireless-that-is dept.

Eurogamer has a look at some new information about the Revolution's wireless presence. From the article: "Iwata confirmed that consumers will not be required to pay any monthly fees to play first party titles - the only costs incurred will be the price of games and the user's own Internet connection. He said that Nintendo has worked hard to design a system which is secure and protected from the kind of abuse that can come from anonymity. A Nintendo-branded USB Wi-Fi access point will appear on the shelves along side the first Wi-Fi enabled game for use by gamers who don't have a wireless Internet connection already set up - which would suggest that third party wireless access points can also be used."

Well that sucks, I was really looking forward to screaming at my old college friends over Mario Kart DS. Oh well, not a huge loss.

Here is hoping to an online Bomberman DS with voice chat =]
