Lik Sang have posted a massive update of news, screenshots and much more, heres a taster of that news:[br][br] Now let’s continue with the summary of the latest happenings around the Nintendo DS, mostly gathered at this weeks "Preview" press conference in Tokyo:[br][br]Games Downloads[br][br]When analysts reported last month that the Nintendo DS would support voice-over-IP functionality, we thought we'd heard the last secret of the Nintendo DS hardware. But this week at the press conference in Tokyo, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata revealed that the machine can download game data wirelessly, then play it back. [br][br]Game Sharing[br][br]"The DS's wireless connection isn't just a substitute for the link cable that was used on the Game Boy for multiplayer games. The DS has wireless download capability, which allows it to receive a program and to execute it. With it, people can play games together using only one cartridge," commented Iwata, citing as one example Super Mario 64 DS' four-player, one-cartridge simultaneous gameplay. [br][br]Go To (Japanese) Movies And Get Pokémon and Maps Beamed To Your DS[br][br]"On a related subject, we're planning to try integrating the DS with movie theaters. By using the system's wireless functionality, users that bring their DS and GBA Pokémon cartridge to designated theaters will be able to download game data that will be distributed during certain scenes of next summer's Pokémon movie. In one scene where the main characters meet a new Pokémon, that character's data will be sent to their cartridges. This will be the first time such a distribution scheme has been used anywhere in the world." [br][br]Check out all the great screenshots at Lik Sang
