DS remote play through the Wii?

With all the hype generated by the discovery of remote play (this time, for games and not just media) between the PSP and PS3, there's bound to be rumors of other consoles having similar functions. Here's one such rumor: connectivity between the DS and Wii through the Mii Channel.

The video below is very short, and doesn't show anything much aside from the Wii trying to connect to a DS. Strangely enough, not much was shown to prove that the connection between the two devices are successful.

However, if it ever turns out to be true, then it'll be a very interesting function indeed. Stay tuned for more updates!

# huh? — Guest 2007-09-08 07:39

i think its fake

# ninty always first — Guest 2007-09-08 07:42

this type of conectivity was done with gamecube and gameboy advance. its old.

# ?? — Guest 2007-09-08 09:19

Yeah the gamecube with the gameboy advance but no with the ds and wii trough wi-fi but they will not take advange of it i bet.

The only game to use that connectivity at an acceptable leverl for nintendo was legend of zelda wind waker.

"The only game to use that connectivity at an acceptable level for nintendo was legend of zelda wind waker."

ehm no, that was too expensive (tinkle LOVED your money) and completely useless. The best Nintendo implementations were Pac Man vs and of course the 4 swords game. However all efforts fall short to Ubisoft's MAD TRAX mini game found in rayman 3 IMO. The 2vs2 mode is simply amazing!!!

(the FFCC functionality was just wrong period)

# WHAT?!? — Guest 2007-09-08 19:01

Trying to be like Sony.

More like Sony trying to be like Nintendo.

The GB cartridges had a special adaptor for the N64. Then the GBA was connected to the Gamecube. So basically, Nintendo is the one that started this since a very long time ago.

The Pokemon game on Wii supports DS connectivity...

# Did you guys forget about Metroid? — Guest 2007-09-09 07:11

Metrioid Prime and Metroid Fusion linked together also, to unlock Metroid (NES) and the Fusion Suit for Prime.

So ha!

# well, — Guest 2007-09-09 08:58

Those were releases in USA, let us remember that some games are not released in the US. Japan onry.

# Alright... — Guest 2007-09-09 10:58

So, enough bickering about who ripped off who, not too many people care as long as it does something. True, the GBA did do it first with the GC, it was pretty useless and became obsolete very quickly. The PSP and PS3, haven't heard too much about it, but I do know that the functionality of it is much better than GC and GBA. This really shouldn't be an argument at all, if you do tho, argue the functionality and not who did it first. Because after all, Nintendo and Sony did not make the first video game system, who are they ripping off?

Back on subject, I want to know how they even got the option to connect the DS with the Wii, because i checked out my Wii and I dont see any kind of option there. And yes, I'm current with the updates.

# no — Guest 2007-09-09 16:26

there isnt a way to connect, yet on mii channel...but reggie fils aime did say surprise for our wiis at the end of september!! expect the check mii out channel.

# splinter cell — Guest 2007-09-09 18:36

dont remember wich one but it was pretty cool with sticky cams you would b able to see it thru the GBA i used to have my cousin be the look out thru the cam..... didnt look to great BIG LAG changing from night vision to reg and thermal but hey it was still pretty cool
