One-Cart Wireless Play Confirmed for DS

Game Developer Magazine has had an online interview from the E3 with Miyamoto about the coming DS and confirm what we’ve all expected. Gamasutra, Game Developers Magazines online division, recently posted its E3 interview with legendary game designer Shigeru Miyamoto, Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma, and lead DS hardware designer Kenichi Sugino. The article is an interesting read, with discussion of game and hardware design, Four Swords, and the competition, but most newsworthy is Miyamotos comment on Nintendo DSs multiplayer:

Miyamoto: “Whether you’ve got one DS and one game pack, and your friends have their DSes, you’ll be able to download the game from the game pack in one DS wirelessly to your friends and you can all play together wirelessly.”

While this was pretty much assumed already, it is good to hear Nintendo is continuing one of the GBAs most innovative and convenient features. With the DSs rumored 4 MBytes of memory and its quicker LAN connectivity, it is likely we will see one-cart multiplayer comparable to current multi-cart games.
