Yes, children, gather 'round, for I have news of great things to come. Possibly to come, that is! That scan above is not a joke: Wi-Fi for Mario Party DS (http://www.themushroomkingdom.net/games/mpds) is that much closer to being a reality. This image comes courtesy of Nintendo's latest gaming catalog that hit specialty retailers this week. Unfortunately, Nintendo's mum as of now, with no mention of Wi-Fi for the game on their press site or E3 information. Let's just hope this isn't a repeat of the Mario Hoops 3-on-3 fiasco (http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n272/dharma_island/MH3o3wifi.jpg).
Let's ask you guys: Is Mario Party Wi-Fi happening? If you ask me, out of DS or Wii, I always thought a DS version of Mario Party would be more likely to have Wi-Fi action first.

As a journalist, you're more yellow than a banana! But I wouldn't toss the WiFi idea yet, because it's the first game for the DS. Surely they'll try something slightly new?
I really don't want to play any minigames that scratch up my touchscreen more than necessary, though.
EDIT: Wait a moment. What was this scan taken from? Because I can clearly see the blue Wi-Fi circle in the lower left hand part of the page. Sorry I accused you of yellow journalism-- it seemed as if you were discounting the possibility later in your post.

Heh, this is something I would love to finally see. And if there isn't Wi-Fi for Mario Party on the DS, at least have some solid local multiplayer. Hopefully that Wi-Fi symbol isn't a deceptive one.
Suffix: I completely agree with the touch screen comment. Leave most of the game to the d-pad, ABXY, and the triggers. And please... no microphone!
