DS and the Wii?

[Pharos the ferret]

Can you hook up the DS wirelessly on the Wii? If you can, how do you do it? And can you play it on the Wii games?

Hmm, not sure yet. Nobody really knows. (Or I don't, at least.)

its supose to be like game cube and advance.. but it will hook up wirelessly through wifi... and you will unlock secret minigames off Wii games to play on your DS... i dont know if anygames support it yet but that will be the plan... just keep an eye out on Wii titles with a little DS logo on the bottom should be alot more fun then the GC/Advance games...

recent podcast said that the DS will use wi-fi to hook up with the wii, but currently they do not.

Wii might be able to be your own download station for DS demos too.

^^^that would be kinda cool and i just noticed 3 people from michigan posted three times in a row ^ ^

Definitely expect this in the near future. Can't Wii already do this is Japan with Pokemon Revolution? If I remember correctly, I think I saw a video of someone using their DS to select attacks and stuff.

thats what i thought... i know its the way its going to work.. seen countless interviews with nintendo higher ups on G4... nintendo loves to mix there console with there handheld.. i have about 4 gamecube games "extras of course came in a double pack" but they wouldnt even play without a advanced hooked upto it... im guessing it will be the same way with Wii you wont notice it but you miss out on alot of cool hidden mini games and stuff without the handheld... and vise versa...

Yeah, I bought my DS not just for this reason, but this had an effect on it. Especially if they do demos for DS through the Wii. That would be pretty cool.
