Many of you probably got excited at the idea of downloading full games to your Nintendo DS in the future. I know I did. Unfortunately, Nintendo had to clarify that this would NOT be the case, and that the New York Times screwed up in their article.

“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.”

So where does that leave us in terms of Wii/DS connectivity? Well, right where we started.
