Hands on the DS

Can we see a possible MMORPG with the DS since it has Wi-Fi and Bluetooth and stuff?

the DS does not have Bluetooth.

shidoshi, that ringing endorsement puts my mind at ease, as I didn't think it could work all that well. I can't wait to play backlit GBA stuff, Advance Guardian Heroes should look swank on it.

Let me say one thing, though - the set-up I played on basically had the DS "floating" in the air, attached to an arm. Because of this, I didn't have to hold it in my hands and try to use the stylus, or I didn't have to set it on a counter/whatnot and try to use the d-pad. So we'll see how actual, real-world use works out.

There were five control schemes on the demo I tried, and all but the main one were pretty crap. There are really only two control schemes, it is just that two of them are mirrored for the lefties. One of the control schemes uses the buttons to move and the d-pad to look, or vise versa, which I can't imagine working too well. (Didn't try it, though.) The other puts the main action screen on the bottom screen, and you are then dragging the stylus across the screen where you need the most to see what is going on. Didn't like that one bit.

No, we can't. I'm pretty sure the DS works on an area limited network, meaning you can only play with people within a certain range and not somebody in LA when your in NYC. That means that it wouldn't be an MMORPG at all.

Okay Hero I will take a writing class before I post anymore threads, Whatever. I do have a question about the DS though. Can we see a possible MMORPG with the DS since it has Wi-Fi and Bluetooth and stuff?

So you're saying I took the time to be fair, civil, and helpful in showing you why people are being asses to you, and that's all you have to say?

I take it back - they aren't being asses because you can't write. They're doing it because you're an immature baby who seems to enjoy lamenting over mockery. Ass.

I am reading that as local multiplayer will be handled the same was as the wireless multiplay adaptors for the GBA work (cool), and that wide-area network play will not be offically supported by Nintendo (weak), and as such no developer will ever bother.

If this is true, it will be yet another example of Nintendo not having a clue. If you're going to put that option in there, use it! One of the reasons I was looking forward to the DS was that I could use my wireless router and play against people anywhere else via the internet. If PSP does that, and it actually gets used, that'll be a point in Sony's favor for me.

I realize it may not be a huge deal to a huge amount of people, but I was under the impression that Nintendo was trying to make the DS a killer system. Not a system with a killer set of features that then go unused.

I have to believe that if they built IP software into a game that it could potentially use the WiFi to go on the net though. It's just not a hardware default.

My understanding is that neither of them plan to do this at this point. I'll go farther than giving points for it, though. That's the difference between a sale and not for me. If one has internet multiplayer, and the other doesn't, that's a slam dunk.

Flawless victory.

hero what is you problem? I didn't attack you post. i got the message and decided I will post less threads and when I do I will try to state the message more clearly. Jesus

If you can't do a Animal crossing MMORPG then I am pissed. I would have loved that. Really Nintedo get it together. Can anyone here see a Pokemon MMORPG failing. I know I don't

[Survival Kid]

I would be all over a MMORPG Pokemon, but only if it's on consoles. None of this handheld bullshit.
