Two cool things happened to me during my Spring Break concerning my DS:
In the airport, our flight got cancelled, so we were sitting around doing nothing. Pretty boring. So to waste some time, I busted out Yoshi's Touch and Go and began a Time Attack run. About halfway through, I look up to see this kid staring at me holding his DS up. So, by instinct, I restart my DS and go to Multiplayer mode. We engage in several YT&G battles when our flight is called. We both shut off our DSs (did I mention I was about 25 feet away from him?) and as he is walking away, I hear him saying something to his parents. Except that he's not speaking English. I think he was speaking German or something. See? Videogames are the universal language!
Story #2:
I was pretty bored in our hotel: it was night time and there was nothing to do. I went down into the lobby to find a bunch of kids sitting around doing nothing. We started talking and some kid said "Do any of you have DSs?" To my surprise, 4 other kids said yes (including me). We then got into furious matches of Metroid Hunters, Super Mario 64x4, Zoo Keeper, and Ridge Racer. I whooped 'em all!
I think this aspect of the DS is really great, though I have one question: can somebody specifically explain to me how the online DS is going to work? Will it use telephone wires, or Nintendo kiosks? If kiosks, where will those be located? Would I be able to play in my house?
