Super Smash Bros. DS?!

If someone will explain to me how the DS will be online, I will +rep them.

I just dont understand how it is supposed to work. Will you have to plug your DS into the wall? Will I HAVE to have a broadband connection to use this?

Or will it be WiFi? And if it is WiFi, will someone please explain to me what WiFi is and how it works?

Its WiFi. And it just works over a wireless connection that you can either setup in your own home or find one of many hot spots (wireless connectivity available) areas.

I agree with DM about the online thing... sometimes I wonder what goes on at Nintendo. They don't make any sense at all.

On a side note, seeing as I like the SSB series, but won't bet getting a DS, the game doesn't interest me much.

Well, I think the DS is Nintendo's beginning of their next gen of hardware that will be more industry friendly per se because they are listening more to the consumer. Although the only downside to the DS for me is no analog stick which could hurt them and shy developers away.

+rep given, as promised.

What kind of places have WiFi? How much does it cost to set it up?

It depends. Some places can have a sign up saying it is, you can check a few sites online that tell what place have WiFi available.

And as for cost. A decent wireless router at home is $50-$75 and for a wireless card or usb adaptor, they can be between $35-$65 depending on brand.

I hope it's graphics are equal or greater to that of Super Smash Bros. 64.

But the receiver is already in the DS, so you'll just need the wireless router.

Big hotels have these hot spots most of the time. You could just sit on their doorstep.

Yeah, true. If your setting up home use for JUST the DS only, $50-$75 is all you need.

Plus your broadband service that most already have....

Vampyr · 08-25-2004, 05:10 PM

That sounds like way too much trouble just to play online.

And for another thing, I dont have broadband....

I think I'll get a DS anyway, but only after I see how well people like the games and if it will even be worth upgrading from my recently purchased SP. (I got it right before the DS was announced....)
