More Animal Crossing Wii MMO details, Nintendo to soon support DS homebrew? |
Ó
We learned just a while ago that there are plans to turn the Wii version of Animal Crossing (also on Nintendo DS) into a MMO video game title. For those familiar with the game, this is a very feasible concept given the features of the title that rely on real-life conditions such as weather, social conventions, time, and others.But the million dollar question is how exactly Nintendo intends to go about this. Designer and Project Head Katsuya Eguchi wouldn't spill enough beans to provide us with the exact picture but according to his statements, they are thinking of providing mobile and PC connection for basic features such as sending messages to other players.
Furthermore, Nintendo revealed as well today plans for an official DS flash card that will be used at first for the back catalog of GameBoy and GameBoy Color video game titles. Quite interestingly, it was also said that this flash card will serve as Nintendo's way of offering publisher-supported content to consumers.
If you didn't quite understand that last statement, you can think of it as Nintendo's upcoming WiiWare channel for the DS. If you want to go further, this is also a prelude to Nintendo supporting community-created stuff (read: homebrew).
Despite those exciting possibilities, it is still uncertain at this point as to how far Nintendo is willing to go with this.

IT sounds like a sweet idea, lets just hope that Nintendo doesn't cripple the Flash card operability in fear of piracy.
This sounds like great news to me. Though I agree with billie about the flash card.
