I saw this on cube-europe.com

Rumour 1:
We kick off this rumour report with news on Nintendo's Camp Hyrule online event. The camp turned into a rumour fest when a mystery NOA representative may have accidentally revealed a secret Nintendo DS title...

The following comes from a chat session at Nintendo's Camp Hyrule featruing the Nintendo of America representative:

CHEEBO: Whats your favorite DS game Mysterious?
NOA_MYSTERIOUS: I can't wait until Zelda DS and Smash Brothers DS!
_KIRBY_MASTER_: SMASH BROTHERS DS?
BARK_N-MOO: WHAT DID YOU SAY?!?!?!?!
_KIRBY_MASTER_: NEVER HEARD OF THAT
WINGS19: Is Smash Bros DS in development? o.0
NOA_MYSTERIOUS: I said nothing....
NOA_MYSTERIOUS: : )

We know it is not just a silly prank because only Nintendo of America representatives were able to choose the prefix 'NOA' in their nickname. Let the speculation begin!

If this turns out to be true, I'll be really giddy about an SSB: DS. And since it will most likely be online, if they launched this, it could be the killer app to own for the DS.

And one must ask themselves, why the hell didn't they make Smash Bros. online on the GCN to begin with?

I don't understand, Nintendo is going on about this wireless online gaming with the DS, and yet their home console, GameCube, remains offline with no plans at all, because Nintendo doesn't believe online gaming is worth the risks, or that it is profitable, and yet doing this online plan with the DS is much riskier and more expensive (on their part) than it would've been with the GCN.

Sometimes I just wonder what the hell is going on with them.

Haha I agree, they're all messed up. Must be the sushi.

Nintendo KNOWS about SSB, I've never doubted there would be a DS version. Pwn3d.

Just imagine all the games played in school during the breaks.

I personally don't care one way or another, if it's online.

I'm just pissed they would rather make a sequel on DS then consoles, hey portable SSB would be fun, but it needs a big screen counterpart.

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?

Jonbo298 · 08-23-2004, 09:37 PM

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.

Jonbo298 · 08-23-2004, 10:53 PM

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.

2 words: DS SP.

+rep given, as promised.

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

Jonbo298 · 08-24-2004, 06:20 PM

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 already told you guys...

the NEW super mario is going to be Super Smash brothers... here's a good show.

adventure mode

GameMaster · 08-24-2004, 09:31 PM

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

Canyarion · 08-25-2004, 05:04 AM

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.
