DS Goes Wayport Eat hamburgers and play Mario Kart online at McDonald's across the nation. by Matt Casamassina

October 17, 2005 - Nintendo of America on Tuesday will announce a groundbreaking partnership with Wi-Fi provider Wayport to make available free Internet access to DS owners at McDonald's restaurants across the nation. Nintendo and Wayport will offer complimentary Wi-Fi hotspots at McDonald's establishments, enabling DS owners to use the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, which launches November 14 in the states, to play online games with or against each other. Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection marks the company's entry into the online arena. The service is dramatically different from competitors because it is entirely free to consumers who already have wireless Internet access at home, as opposed to Xbox Live, which functions on a subscription model. Nintendo expects to release a variety of DS games this year that will make use of the Wi-Fi Connection, including Mario Kart DS, Tony Hawk's American SK8Land, Animal Crossing: Wild World and Metroid Prime Hunters. Official Mario Kart DS art "By enabling Nintendo DS customers to access Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection via our Wi-Fi World network and business model at McDonald's, we are continuing to drive more customers to the restaurants we serve and increase the relevancy of Wi-Fi to a broader customer base," says Dave Vucina, CEO of Wayport. "Nintendo is a pioneer in providing a new way for their customers to play the games they want to while away from home or the office, and McDonald's is the perfect venue based on their ubiquity and accessibility." Perhaps just as interesting to fans of the Big N is the first official confirmation from the company that its forthcoming console will also utilize the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. "Nintendo DS is just the first Nintendo system to connect via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection," the company stated in an official press release. "The same service will be incorporated into Nintendo's next-generation home video game console, code-named Revolution, which is set for release in 2006." Stay tuned for much more on the news as it breaks.

Oblivion Comes out!



Elders Scrolls Four: Oblivion is one of the most anticipated games of recent years(Halo 2 as well). It's open ended gameplay has endeared the game to millions of people. It's release date is iminant and closing vastly in upon us. I personally am excited, but not jumping out of my boots. My computer can't handle it, and I don't have an Xbox 360. But some people I know will be getting it. I shall hope to have a review soon.
