    Well, as the gamers on here know, the Nintendo DS is coming out tomorrow. And some of us are lucky enough to already have one. :) So I says to myself, how better to test the wireless multiplayer than a LAN in UCD when we come back?
    Anyone who'd be interested post here. Games would be Metroid Prime Hunters: First Hunt and Super Mario 64 DS.

    I'm game. (Touch me to find out.... :) ) I'll bring along Polarium, a fun puzzle game that allows for download play.

    I suggest the Science Canteen. It will be empty (or almost empty) in the evening, it's near vending machines (and a shop that closes at 6pm). It has seats for lots of people.

    Time/Date suggestions?

    €149.99 which I don't think is too bad really, and it's definatly worth getting one. I imported from the US before it came out here and it came with a demo of Metroid Prime: Hunters, and I bought Super Mario 64 DS with it, which is great and a very big game. I picked up Wario Ware: Touched yesterday at the EU launch and although short, it's lots of fun and just as mad as the GBA Wario Ware.

    Wario Ware: Touched doesn't have multiplayer, but Super Mario 64 DS has up to 4 player, and PictoChat (A built in chat system where you can draw as well as just use text, comes on every system) supports up to 16 people in each chatroom (There's 4 of them). There's potential for up to 16 player games in the future. The range is said to be up to 30m.

    Nintendo announced this week at the Game Developers Conference that the DS will go online by the end of the year, and that the service will be free. It's also heavily rumoured their next console (Codenamed 'Revolution') will be WiFi enabled also, so maybe it could be used as router to get your DS online if you don't have wireless internet already. Eitherway, there will be connectivity of some kind with Nintendo's next console.

    The DS is backwards compatible with all Game Boy Advance games (But not GB or GBC) so there's a huge back library of great games there already that can be played on it. The DS games are selling at €44.99 in GAME Dawson Street at the moment.
