Hey all, I'm at work right now so I can't view this webpage, but is this news old or not?

Yeah I think Harris is hinting at something that he already knows... This is new and hot, I can feel it. Please announce something this thursday Nintendo, please!!!

[cubeenigma]

well...it seems as if this article is new...i hope that they announce something new about their online plans soon....especially with squar-e-nix....

yeah, I read Craige's comments in the IGN mailbag yesterday. I actually thought about posting it here but I didn't.

My guess is that this "game" is no doubt Mario Kart DS (with there being a small possibility that it will be Animal Crossing DS). But yeah, I going with Mario Kart here.

AND,

I think that DS will go online in March, right around the launch of that other handheld thingy. At least, to me that would make sense. Regardless, I would think Nintendo would have some high profile game come out when the PSP does, but what better thing to do than to create this huge Online DS campaign?

[Baccala]

Hmm if they were to go online with the DS that soon, which march release would be capable of going online??? I can think of none, however I do think that the ultimate online game Harris is referring to is a Pokémon one. Although I would'nt complain if it were Mario Kart, just bring something online!

hmm...ah...so tempted to get a DS....but not untill I hear abou Super Smash Brothers Online...NET?....worldwide....

Wait and watch and wait a little more.


Just a little.

i think nintendo will be doing their own xbox live thing starting with the ds and following with the revolution.

[cubeenigma]

just imagine if they used the revolution as the HUB for the DS to play it online...:D

[RivenWinner]

these things are being worked on just as we speak now

Forums are acting funny, but it is new enough, I read it yesterday, great news indeed the best news in a long time. I reckon the Mario Kart will be the 1st online game.

[Casey-AMN]

You guys should be reading my posts more closely for a little while;)

[cubeenigma]

yeah...you have been hinting at things...for like...4EVA!!!

[halftimepka]

"You guys should be reading my posts more closely for a little while"

How about another hint then? Basically, if you know anything, just dish out whatever you can without breaking any commandments. Within what range is "wait just a little"?

Great...that's all the world needs is another Matt Casamassina (IGN boards), Chad Paulson (Warppipe boards), or Dean (N-sider boards). I suppose Casey is AMN's resident "hint man" now. Oh well, I suppose we needed one anyway.

Oh and Casey, I think you need to change the text under your avatar to say "Hint Man" from now on if you intend to toy with our anticipation on a regular basis.

Aww come on if you guys like the abuse so much I could probably do stuff now and again too. ;)

Dude, ditto...well, kinda. When this is revealed I will buy DS. Because it will only make sense to. Right now, it's useless to me. That's why I don't have it. But when this comes out, and it's good, Nintendo will fully steal my heart back.

[ninjaboyjohn]

I honestly don't expect to be able to easily play my DS online anytime before this fall, if then.

C'mon, Nintendo, surprise me!

[Mr.Cool]

I hope Mario Kart goes online...it wou8ld be the best, but I will buy the game if its online or not.
