Does Worms DS support Wifi?

Dunno. One would think it does.

I like Worms.

Online Worms truly kicks ass, so please, Team 17…work with Nintendo and get this game working over the Internet.

The fact that THQ has been very quiet about whether this game will support Wi-Fi with the release date so close (March 20) may mean that the game won't support Wi-Fi, which is a horrid shame.

No Wi-Fi, no sale, because the best way to enjoy this game is against other people.

That's always hot seat...but who wants to play that on a handheld unless you're sitting next to someone in the car.

According to the press materials, yes.

It supports Wifi, but there's no mention of WFC (which is what matters when checking DS games for online play).

I tried to find a press release that confirms DS WFC, but nothing shows up. I've been looking through the Team17 forum and it strongly indicates that the game won't have an online mode.

I'm passing on this game.
