It’s out (in the USA, at least) and, apparently, it’s amazing. Quick, no-nonsense, fun to play. Playable through wi-fi for free, both at hotspots (which includes any McDonald’s restaurant) and at home, as long as you have a wi-fi network. What more could anyone want?
(well, I want a DS… hope I can get one this year.)
By the way: watch the videos at the official site. It’s almost unbelievable that a handheld game looks as good, as fast and as fluid as that – it looks easily as good as the GameCube version!

My brother in law has a DS, I thought the two screens were kinda cool but wifi!? Thats just crazy. I think he said something about it not being enabled until a certain date, is that true? Do you know what date? If I had the cash and time to play games I’d get one of those =P
I think the date was the release of Mario Kart – which, apparently, is right now, at least in the US. I’m in Europe, so I can’t say for sure – we always get things later, here.
As far as I know, you have several options:
1- you can simply take the DS to a hotspot – every McDonalds, for instance, and probably a lot of other public places
2- if you have a wi-fi network at home, it takes a little configuration, but you can use it to make the DS go online
3- if you don’t, Nintendo also sells a little USB wi-fi adapter, which you plug into a PC with an internet connection, and the DS can use it.
I can’t wait to play my first WiFI game with DS. I haven’t really been picking it up much due to the lack of great games but i’m sure this will open up a new world for it.
I want this game. I have a DS. Will be a while I guess in England.
