According to Nintendo, in one week more than 45% of the people who have purchased Mario Kart DS have taken their game online via the free Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service.
In just one week, more than 112,000 copies of Mario Kart DS have been sold in the US. Of that number more than 52,000 unique system/game pairs have connected to the online service for Wi-Fi multiplayer gaming.
"We are ecstatic with the results, and this definitely sets the standard for future Wi-Fi online gaming," said Beth Lewellyn, Nintendo's senior director of public relations. "Mario Kart should easily be a million seller in its life cycle, and we'd love for everyone with the game to touch the Wi-Fi experience. We've got Animal Crossing just around the corner, and Metroid Prime Hunters next year, with more to come."
Comparatively, Microsoft reported last year that after three weeks on store shelves, just 18 percent of Halo 2 owners had played that game on Xbox Live.
Interested in this game? Add it to your wishlist. If you already own it, be sure to add it to your collection. You can keep track of the games you've got, check personalized stats, get tips and cheats by email, and more.

Nintendo have recently been granted a patent with the catchy title “Game information storage medium and game system using the same”, which may be related to the Revolution. The patent details the operation of an emulator and storage system embedded within a different system, and sounds suspiciously like the Virtual Console features touted to be part of the Revolution.
This patent implies a number of things, including the fact that the Revolution may have no dedicated hardware for emulation of older systems—also, since character selection comes before the game starts, new characters may be available to revitalise old games. By supporting emulation with “no unnecessary re-coding”, we may see much better backwards compatibility with the Revolution than the first of the next-gen consoles, the Xbox 360, has managed.

Winter sports sequel, SBK Snowboard Kids, is being brought to DS by Rising Star Games, with a release set for March 2006.
Clearly targeted at the younger DS owner, SBK is bright and colourful - as you can see from these new shots.
Combining Mario Kart-style power-up projectiles - like fireballs or freeze attacks - with a neat use of the touch-screen to perform special tricks while tearing down the slopes, SBK should give knee-high gamers an entertaining wintry sports fix.
SBK Snowboard Kids will be released for DS in March 2006

Anyone who's eagerly been refreshing the URL for Nintendo's official European Wi-fi Connection Service website in anticipation of its a launch today alongside Mario Kart DS might be wondering just what exactly's going on. So here's the skinny, as they say in, erm, somewhere.
You see, where there should be a lovely gleaming new portal for the service, there's just an ominous Coming Soon message at the moment. For the uninitiated, the website will act as the central repository for all Nintendo's online antics. You'll be able to keep track of your high scores and current records, as well as find all the info you'll need on getting your DS hooked up to the 'net and the full low-down on local free hotspots in your area.
The only problem is, it's not there yet. Fearing that something had gone terribly wrong, we gave Nintendo a call and - thankfully - it looks like anyone picking up Mario Kart DS will still be able to take the game online, either through a wi-fi router at home or using one of the company's 7,500 wi-fi hotspots across the country.
Apparently, some last minute technical issues have delayed the launch of the website itself but Nintendo has assured us its working round the clock to sort them out and the site will be live within the next few days. In the meantime, you can still hop onto the 'net and kick some digital karting arse - you just won't be able to back up your bragging rights with official stats just yet...

DS sales continue to exceed 100,000 units per week in PAL territories
Nintendo has announced that more than 1 million copies of puppy sim Nintendogs have been sold across Europe since the game launched on October 7th.
The Nintendo DS also continues to sell well, with more than 2 million units already shifted. According to Nintendo, weekly sales have topped 100,000 for the past three weeks - with 120,000 units sold last week alone.
The handheld's success is likely to continue with the release of Mario Kart DS, which hit European stores today. It's the first game that allows DS owners to play online via Nintendo's Wi-Fi Connection service. A Mario Kart DS bundle - which includes a handheld and a copy of the game - is currently retailing for GBP 99.
The announcement follows the earlier publication of Nintendo's half-yearly financial report, which revealed a fall in profits of 21.1 per cent. Nintendo attributed the drop to extra research and development costs and lower sales of GameCube consoles and software.
The company is predicting a further boost in sales of DS hardware and games as Christmas draws nearer, with titles such as Nintendogs and Mario Kart DS expected to sell well throughout the holiday period.

Nintendo has published financial results for the half-year ended September 30, revealing a drop in profits of USD 82.7 million from the same period last year - a fall of 21.1 per cent.
Consolidated net profit stood at YEN 36.63 billion (USD 308.4 million), down from YEN 46.45 billion (USD 391.1 million) in 2004. But despite the fall, the figure was slightly higher than that predicted in the company's financial forecast due to favourable foreign exchange rates.
Operating profit was down 51 per cent to YEN 19.6 billion (USD 165 million), while net income stood at YEN 36.6 billion (USD 308.1 million) - down from YEN 46.4 billion (USD 390.7 million) last year. Sales fell 6.2 per cent to YEN 176.4 billion (USD 1.49 billion).
Nintendo attributed the drop in profits to increased research and development costs as the company prepares to launch the next-generation Revolution console in 2006. The fall was also blamed on lower sales of GameCube consoles and software, particularly in North America.
Nintendo cut its forecast for the number of Nintendo DS units likely to be sold globally this financial year - the forecast is now down to 12 million from 12.4 million. The forecast for GameCube sales was also slashed from 2.8 million to 2.4 million, but Nintendo predicts that 11 million products from its Game Boy Advance range will be sold - an increase over the previous forecast of 10.2 million.
Nintendo's full year forecast was not altered: operating profit is predicted to stand at YEN 90 billion (USD 758 million), with net profit at YEN 75 billion (USD 631 million) and sales at YEN 400 billion (USD 3.4 billion).

Nintendo’s first-half profits dropped 21% for the period ending September 30. The company cites sluggish GameCube sales and slower US demand for the decline. Reuters writes: “Nintendo said last month that it believed GameCube’s life was nearing an end, while margins have been hurt by hefty development costs for Revolution.”
In lieu of the drop, the company slightly cut DS and GameCube forecasts for the full-year while raising Game Boy forecasts due to strong demand for the Game Boy Micro.
Many argue Nintendo to be the most profitable console manufacturer out of the big three, but hits like this can’t help. What could change this? They’ve got the portable market down to a science, but what does the company need to do on the console front to pose a threat to Sony and Microsoft?

The new tracks are a pleasant mix. You swap between small and tightly designed tracks, to long, wide and sprawling ones, bringing a unique driving experience from cup to cup and track to track.
The range on offer here is impressive to say the least. When added to the bonus retro tracks, you have enough combinations of race types to keep you glued to multi-player races for many, many months to come.
But then there's more! The new Missions mode, while presenting a few challenges that fall into the annoying, stupid and frustrating bracket, are insanely addictive.
Little trails that require expert driving skills to earn the top ranking and, because of their short and sharp nature, are always begging for just one more go to perfect.
And then there's the rather generous multiplayer. Even with just one cart, there's a nice selection of tracks and Battle modes to get stuck into.
With everyone kitted out with a copy of the game, you'll be party to every track, mode and feature that the game has to offer.
Never before has Mario Kart offered so much content, that's so easily accessible and can be enjoyed by so many people. And that's got to be a good thing, surely?
Mario Kart DS is out on 25 November
Overall: 92%

The brain twisting Japanese board game appears for the first time on the Nintendo DS through Success's Appare! Shougi-jiisan ~ Washi to Shoubu-ja ~. After hours of heated debate, we've decided to give this game the English name of "Honorable! Uncle Shogi." The game features opponent characters designed by Masayuki Katayama, well known in the mahjong manga world (yes, there is such a thing) and includes download play for up to two players.

Mahjong players, who haven't picked up one of the system's other mahjong titles, should take a look at Pro Ni Naru Mahjong DS. That long title translates to "Become a Pro: Mahjong DS," and a professional mahjong league out of Japan supervised the game. This DS mahjong game features 10 pro mahjong players who, breaking all the rules, have decided to appear using their real names -- first and last (Success has even created caricatures for them). A training mode puts you through a number of tough situations, offering advice from pros. The game also includes download play for up to four players.
