That movie idea is weird. I don't want a bunch of idiots playing their DS during a movie. Now realistically I'm not going to see Pokemon in the theatre so it probably won't affect me directly. Still I don't like anything that teaches kids that making noise during a movie is acceptable. The bad habits they pick up during Pokemon may carry over to Harry Potter or some other "kids movie" I do want to see. I have enough problems with stupid brats while watching those films as it is.
The downloadable demo idea is pretty cool... in theory. The only problem is I like to KEEP demos. My interest in videogames goes beyond just living for the moment. I like collecting stuff too. If the demo is lost when I turn off my system or times out at some point it's gone forever. So if Nintendo changed something that was originally in the demo or cancelled a game that had a demo for it we can't keep that. It's gone forever. Realistically though I don't expect them to give us blank cartridges or anything to save stuff to since that would be a real piracy issue. It's just kind of a bummer.
Actually piracy might be a problem period because of the wireless stuff. If someone finds a way to save the DS memory you could potentially steal a complete game if you downloaded it from another player for multiplayer. With wireless transmissions you could find a way to just grab this stuff out of the air. That would solve my inability to keep demos but boy would that be misused. I could see an official third party product being released to save game states that could be hacked for piracy.

Well that isn't the stupidest editorial I've ever read but it isn't that great either. What sort of sane person would use EB's website as a source?
There is one thing I do agree with the writer though. Nintendo may have difficulty getting people to buy the DS due to their past practice of cutting their portables' lives short. The GB Pocket, Color, Advance, and now Advance SP have all had a shelf life of only a few years..............

I think it'll go online within the next installment if not there after. Going online will give writing letters a purpose since real players will actually have a proper responce to your letters unlike the npcs in animal crossing who have scripts to follow. I think if they were to go online they should include mini games within the animal crossing village. Like a tennis tournament using the mario tennis engine, a kart league similar to mario karts multiplayer and bowling and billiard tournies such as monkey ball 1 & 2's mini games. You can enter these tournies online and winners will win rare prizes and since they game has a true to life time frame. Tournies can be held on schedule days which will thenl build anticipation (ie. everyone looking foward to novembers tennis tournament becuase they want to come back with a bang becuase of a bad showing in the last tournie)
