Gamers Evolved

Don’t you hate it when you get your hopes up for something great only to have them dashed when it’s taken away from you? Well it seemed to be the job of the New York Times to do just that to us. The famed newspaper had printed a story stating that Nintendo would be making a way for the Wii to download full DS games.

You can imagine how excited we were to first hear about this. The fact that we were able to go from only being able to download DS demo games instead of the full versions was a great achievement on Nintendo’s part. At least that’s what we were hoping for. Nintendo had to inform the New York Times of their mistake and printed out a statement of their own:

An article about the Nintendo DS video game system in the Dec. 31 Business Day section of the New York Times incorrectly referred to future capabilities of the device. The statement that complete Nintendo DS games will eventually be able to be downloaded into the device via a wireless connection with the company’s Wii game console is incorrect. Users can download games to play on Wii, and, in the future, the Nintendo DS will be able to receive demo versions of some DS games from Wii, but not the entire game. The demo will be erased once the Nintendo DS is turned off.
