Tales of Graces includes DS minigame, also a DSi title photo

The new Wii entry in Namco Bandai's Tales series of games, Tales of Graces (TGS preview here), will come with a DS bonus game. It's called Kamenin Merchant, and will be accessible via the DS Download Play feature of the Wii, sending it directly to your DS. This minigame is a randomly-generated dungeon crawler that has you fighting monsters to level up. Defeating minibosses in the DS game lets you unlock rare items in the Wii game. Also, your progress in Graces unlocks more levels in the DS game. Kamenin Merchant supports up to four player multiplayer action.

Want this minigame but don't care to buy Graces? Kamenin Merchant will be sold at a later date on the DSiWare store in Japan, says Andriasang.

See this is the kind of connectivity that should have been around since the dawn of connectivity.

It would be awesome to Nintendo and Sony take advantage of this sort of portable connection more often... But is anyone else surprised to see Namco Bandai leading the way with this type of connectivity instead of the first parties?

Good to see this kind of connectivity. I think nintendo got burned last gen with the GBA/GC connection which is a shame as the hardware now is far more capable to support it (no wires/more memory/DLC)
Even Sony are doing more connectivity stuff.
Oh well.

Does one of those pictures say "SHITS!"?

Just to be clear, I'm not shouting this. Only quoting the exclamation.

Oh hey, another awesome game that won't cross the pond! But [snarky line about calculator apps], right?

Both Innocence and Hearts are mothership games. Tempest was, too, if I recall correctly -- until the not-so-positive media impressions came in. Not sure about that last bit though, so don't take my word for it.
