Can't you just turn off the WLAN switch and play without interfering anything?

Yes, you can. The only thing you can't do is use the wireless functions of the consoles, but you can play if you don't use those functions...
Anyway, I'm always impressed to see that such huge monsters of technology (planes) can be affected by things like that... It really doesn't make travels by plane look safe...

It'll be exactly like cell phones on a plane or in a hospital. You will be told to turn it off, not just refrain from using Wifi.
If the steward or stewardess sees you playing an NDS, he or she isn't going to just trust that you are playing a single player game.

There is no evidence that any of this actually interferes with planes in any way.
Just like the cellphone use at the gas pump. I know the real reason behind it, and it ain't anything to do with sparks or fire. The actual reason is because they're concerned that the signals will interfere with the pumps and basically screw with them so you get free gas.
Seriously, back in the 80's, certain makes of gas pump, if you had a CB radio and keyed the mike while filling up, they'd register no gas being pumped, despite it filling your tank as normal.

I don't know how it is in the US, but on a JAL/ANA plane, they'd probably trust you not to use wireless. After all, why would most smartphones have an 'airplane setting' otherwise?

» Well...
Actually, cells aren't allowed on planes because they aren't sure who's jurisdiction it is. There was a debate between whether it's FCC or some Air Traffic Control body, so neither really looked into whether or not it'd effect the plane's equipment. So in short, they just banned the use to be on the safe side. Seriously, read into it. There hasn't been a single reported issue between cell phone use and plane equipment failure.
Free gas for using a cell phone? I'm in. I knew Mythbusters busted the spark causing an explosions. They said it's a lot more likely from the static generated from getting in and out of your car, then touching the door handle.

Mythbusters looked into the 'cell phones on planes' issue and this is the conclusion:
"It was found that cell phone signals, specifically those in the 800-900 MHz range, did interfere with unshielded *****pit instrumentation. Because older aircraft with unshielded wiring can be affected, and because of the possible problems that may arise by having many airborne cell phones "seeing" multiple cell phone towers, the FCC (via enforcement through the FAA) still deems it best to stay on the safe side and prohibit the use of cell phones while airborn."
