I dont see how its possible to do it since you would need many things. But it may be possible if you have a wirless broadband provider!

Wow this is.. a little sad. Are you aware of what xlink is? it is a program which uses a router cable to act like a system link cable. so you can use the internet to play others in lan type games. useful for halo as it has lan but not online. DS has wireless lan, so does it even have a place to connect a system link cable? and it cannot use internet.. because its not euipped to do so. PSP has wireless online, not ds. there would be little point in an xlink 'online ds lan' game. the games are not worth it to go through the trouble of configuring your wire router to work with a ds. this wont happen... its simply not worth it

The DS I belive is allready online but Nintendo has mad them so there not at the momment...if you look at the USA and AUS Nintendo DS mini sites you would see hints leaning towwords online now or in the future.Also Nintendo have said this "with the right software you can use the DS on the interent"The DS is fun...it will go online soon....but nintendo dosnt want to at this point in time...maybe the DS will go online when its out all around the world.

My brother has a DS and it would be cool to have it online.

i think they need to come out with a cartridge that allows you to surf the internet using a wireless router or connection. That would be awesome to be able to surf on the ds. Hopefully it comes online soon. It sorta gets boring playing against with people that are close to my ds.

Surf the internet on the DS? That'd be cool. The screen would be extremely small though but hey at least it would be better than nothing I guess! I can't wait to see!

I doubt they'll let you surf the internet, but maybe do some stuff like online stats and whatnot. I don't know if it would have the speed & power for a MMO game, though. I have a DS, btw, and the wireless is awsome!

wow, that sounds awsome! I've heard of plenty of peoples doing some research on the WiFi capabilities, but never heard of something this! I can't wait, but hopefully it's not very expensive. I wonder what massively kill Nintendo brand they'll make online?

Bandai was able to connect the DS to PC and Square Enix AND Nintendo is tunneling...but I think when the Nintendo Revolution comes out it will totally make the DS onlin cause of its bulit-in WiFi and broadband.

if the DS could go online won't it be open to virus's a stuff?or did you just mean only go head to head?

[mad_magazine300 0]

Yea i have heard of that too. To my knowledge, I am almost certain that DS online is taking hand helds to the next level and u can play with your friend who lives pretty far away and i not 100% sure but i think u can have ur own e-mail on it too.

I can believe that you can link the units to play multiplayer, but online????????That means wireless internet connection. Won't that be expensive for a portable unit???
