Nintendo and IGN team up to take the DS onlineposted May 11,2005.

For all those people who want the DS online, well, IT'S FINALLY HAPPENING!!!
The big N and IGN entertainment are teaming up to create an innovative network for portable video games that's expansive, and REALLY easy to use! It's schedualed to release sometime later this year. This Wi-Fi thing for the DS allow players to play with anyone around the world, easy, and like they were in the room with you (that's what they say).One of the best things about this is that there will be no cost (that's right, no cost!:)), but people are still not sure wether we'll be able to play wirelessly at a home broadband or a hotspot(coffee shop,ect.), but most likely both will be included.

The Wi-Fi will be used on a whole bunch of upcoming games, including the soon to come Animal Crossing DS game. Gamers, this looks like the start of a beautiful friendship between this two.
