My New DS!

What are the DS' multiplayer capabilities right now? Online? Wireless? Routers?
What's going on?

RE: My New DS!

At the moment you can only play multiplayer wirelessly up to 100ft with your friends.

We will have all the information on Online DS play as soon as we hear of it - and we are also looking into holding online tournaments and such like, so stay with us.

RE: Can someone sum up a couple of things for me please?

Wireless: Yes.
Multiplayer: Some games can be played off one cartridge. Other games will require everyone to have a copy of the game.
Online: No, will come soon.
Routers: No, your DS will not work with your wireless router.

Nintendo will be releasing something that will make Online Multiplaying an option, but no one knows in what form. My belief: Nintendo will release their own proprietary WAP (wireless access point) that you can connect into your existing internet connection.
