Everyone remember about a month ago when Nintendo announced their "Everyone's Nintendo Channel"? It featured videos, interviews, and -- seemingly most importantly -- DS demos for wireless download. Yeah? Fantastic. Most people, on hearing about "Everyone's Nintendo Channel" remarked that it was a fairly neat idea, and that it had potential, that being of full DS title downloads.
Those keen eyed oracles of inevitable development are soon to be rewarded with a round of watercooler gloatery, thanks to Reggie Fils-Aime. The New York Times reports the Nintendo exec of stating full DS title download via the Wii is soon to come and further makes mention of a "new DS device" saying specifically, "Mr. Fils-Amie said that future DS device will be more tightly integrated with its Wii console. Complete games as well as game samplers will be able to be downloaded into the Wii using its broadband connection, and then transferred wirelessly to the DS."
Not only will full titles be available for download, but puzzle expansions for titles such as Professor Layton and the Curious Village will also be made available, along with (I'm sure) additional content expansions for other upcoming games. The expansion and progression of interactivity between the Wii and DS is likely to continue the domination the DS has been enjoying as top selling hand held. Now if only we could get better titles for the thing, I might be able to use it as something other than a portable Geometry Wars player.

Wait.. this isn't Nex.
If it's the blue haired guy I met in Seattle, then it's good times for dtoid :D
Demos though, now that would be neat. I only buy DS games that are cheap/second hand, or from companies i like (Atlus for example), so never get to try out anything else.
The ironic thing is I would probably be able to download the firmware and put it the r4 I don't have anyway.
Here's to piracy.
Don't suck and all that.
ALL HANDS ON DECK PREPARE TO FIRE THE QAIS FULTON
Dangerously cool
Who the fuck is this guy?
OH HAI

If they don't give credit, that's cool, but for some reason I thought they did. Oh well, it doesn't really matter.
Does anyone know if this guy was here before, like Tron/Jon?
I went there.
I know, that's why I sent it to the tip line. :)
IF I HAD A DAMN WII.
As for citing -- Cblogs are extremely hard to get a handle on for editors, since there's an average of about 1000 posted a week (gasp). Most staff have cblogs and participate though. As soon as we introduce the tagging system your cblog articles will get automatically credited in most cases, which will be great because people will see various perspectives on a topic. Its something I'm definitely working to address.

And if it is, your parents love you.
Thanks for the reply. I knew it was too much for them to go sifting through the blogs. I was just confused since I sent it in as a tip four days ago (hence, they didn't have to sift for mine) but I'm glad to hear that you're working on a solution.
@Qais Fulton:
You're complaining about a lack of good DS games? Really? Not off to a good start my friend...
You're late to the party, as in that joke has been done and the people who made the joke have already been verbally assaulted. You are not clever.
I guess I should have said stop sucking in the first post...in the good way not in the i hate you go away way. You now constructive criticism.
