I think there is some way to get your router (provided it's wireless like mine) to put your DS on your network. From there you could theoretically play online. But I don't know how match making would work over the true interenet without some kind of special software.

The beauty of the idea! On my off time I can go to the local starbucks and use the WiFi internet hotspot to play DS games while getting my beloved quad-almond-latte and a tasty pastery! And I could bring a friend so we could play co-op against the world! Victory through Java!

if u haven't noticed the whole warp pipe demasked stuff then u should go to a different forum right now. they have been making all these clues to show somthing about the ds wireless capabilities. the rumor is that there seems to be a network for the ds that will allow u to connect the ds in thin air, no router or anything, to the internent! if this ends up to be true, we have the cell phone god.

I doubt it would be like cell phones. Having a network like that costs a huge amount of money. Read the links in the earlier post about WiFi and the DS. It makes much more sense to use the WiFi that is already in place around the globe. People use it all of the time to allow their laptops and handheld devices to connect to the internet in places like airports, coffe shops, libraries, mass transit stations and even inside businesses or your own home. It's cheap, efficient and easy to use...typical Nintendo.

Besides, I was more refering to the idea of getting coffee and playing nintendo @ the same time. I am well aware of warp pipe happenings. Plus you shouldn't be so rude to people.

I really don't care what it is, the madness just needs to stop.

You mean the madness of nintendo's lack of internet support, the mystery of NDS internet potential, or something to do with warp pipe? Which madness are you talking about? There are many madnesses...

I was talking about the Warp Pipe madness, but now you can just count me in for all of the above.

It might be weird walking down a hall in school or in a mall and chatting with someone walking by you, or on a different floor.

"Nintendo also looked to Xbox Live and its mega hit "Halo" for inspiration in allowing the DS to connect gamers to one another."

LOL is halo the only multiplayer experience? I like howstuffworks.com, but this remark is simply idiotic
