From Igns Mailbag... So is the online Demasked? Eitherway it should be announcec by March 1st IMO
Post by: Gamefreak on January 24, 2005, 07:08:11 PM
That just goes along with what we know all along, that Nintendo IS working on some sort of online interface, and if the rumors are true Square has something to do with the scenario too.
Craig seems to know more than we do though (or he's just EXTREMELY sure of his rumor sources and is just acting like it because he knows he is right)... I wonder which game he is talking about? Hunters, Animal Crossing, or Mario Kart? I've been saying all along that Kart and Metroid will be online though, and Advance Wars as well (call it freaking DS Wars..) and maybe Pokemon Diamond and Pearl since Gamefreak was talking about them reinventing the series.
Oh and you guys seen those new NFS Underground pics? Game looks great...better than asphalt and ridge racers. The turbo programming seems nifty, I'm sure they'll think of other junk too... I'm guessing it won't be online though since it comes out in like 2 months... But Craig said Nintendo will be announcing the plans "very very soon" so that means maybe around PSP launch to E3 we'll see an online game...
And someone needs to take my advice on selling blank GBA flash carts (or equivalent) as "hard drives" for the DS... Those things are pretty cheap and can hold tons of stuff, that way you can store created maps in Advance Wars and stuff like that but more importantly download DS system updates and patches and stuff like that... That way nintendo can update things like pictochat and mario 64 with patches adding online play... And it would go great with DS download play since RAM is cleared when system is shut off. That way like PC games developers can post demos on their websites and you can download them to your DS GBA cart and play them... and it gives you much more than the 4 mb of ram to work with for single cartridge multiplayer

In the meantime, however, there's been rumblings at Nintendo that indicate that the company will finally unwrap its DS online plans very very soon. As it goes, Nintendo left the keys to the WiFi car in the hands of the third-party developers, but the third-party developers didn't want to drive it without Nintendo making the engine. So, as a result, if we've been hearing things correctly, Nintendo will finally and very, very soon, reveal its own "Xbox Live" like service for developers to adopt. And the first game out of Nintendo to use this service will be one of those massively killer Nintendo brands that people have been wanting to play online for years...

Also, everyone do me a favor and don't give IGN hits for starting rumors like this. We can discuss it here and I'm sure PGC will post when its official. There is no need to give IGN constant refreshes. =P

Which is what I've said about everything. E3 this year will be a godsend.

I think its important regardles.. and in my opinion its Demasked because Demasked was rumored to be announced in March... and that would be Real Real Soon...
It would be announced BEFORE E3... Thats why its important.
Oh my guess the game in discussion is Animal Crossing. but who knows... Either Way I want more info.. Will the Microphone work?

Warp Pipe's project manager Chad Paulson constantly says so on the WP forums.

Anyway IGN has known to be wrong a few times (mostly a long time ago) but usually when their editors talk about rumors they are right. IGN says Rare is being sold off soon. Everyone hates them.. and guess what. There goes Rare. Now everyone's like "we didn't want them anyway."
This isn't Craig just purely speculation, they have their sources.. and you know what, they do in fact know more than you about these things, wether you want to believe it or not. They hear all sorts of things in passing when talking about others in the industry... most of which are too trivial for them to post, or would get them into trouble. What they post on IGN is all you guys have to go on, and when they say something everyone's like "wait there's no proof at all!" well they know things you don't that aren't on the website.

The game that's the first to be online is most likely Animal Crossing or Pokemon, but more likely Animal Crossing. Miyamoto said in an interview that Animal Crossing was going to be the first to show their online.

Lets just face it, this is Nintendo, anything remotely close to them is cloudy and unsure. They like to throw stuff out at random spurts when noone sees it coming.

Or you could use online as a reason to make them buy one.

PS - "verse" is not the verb form of "versus" o_O I heard my first grader brother saying that the other day and now one of you
