I was wondering if any of you guys got this handheld, I was at a walmart earlier, They had a display of the system and I got to play with it for a while, It had a demo of Metroid Prime Hunters, Overall, Its really cool, But the controls take getting used to since you can use the stylus to do things in the game, Depending on what contol settings you choose, Anyways, This handheld system also has a built in wireless, So anyone, Who has the same game, Can play against each other in multiplayer.

yes, but its set to ad-hoc and not network, ie it cant connect to a wifi network and then play without some hacking around with it, which many websites have talked about doing, and turning it into a xbox connect sorta thing that started with halo(because lack of online multiplayer) so it would essentially be tricking it into thinking its with in the couple hundered of feet it usually would be.

Really? I know most games are built to use the 150-foot restraint... but Nintendo has assured us that games are in the works that'll use WiFi - such as the upcoming Square-Enix + Nintendo Online Game specifically for the DS.
