Nintendo promoting DS Wi-Fi at a theatre near you

Nintendo recently began a multi-million dollar ad campaign to highlight the DS's online launch. Through August 25th you'll be able to catch the theatre-only mini-movie, titled "The Sad, Agonizing Tale of Bhuvan Ganguly". The one-minute teaser can also be viewed at the link below…

Cool commercial, but will anyone in the theatre
have any idea wtf it is about? I mean seriously
a guy is pushing a cart then doing donuts in
his car then we see a DS playing Mario Karts?
huh?

Anyway, can't wait to play my DS online, too bad the new Metroid won't support it.

There could always be a firmware update becuase its confirmed upgradeable through linux i hope they do that with Advance Wars Ds that would be so awsome :D

#2-actually, Nintendo might decide to tunnel the wi-fi signal, and trick the DS into thinking that it's playing someone that's right in front of you, even though in reality that person might be extremely far away.

i think this might actually be true; i might have read it somewhere.....but dont take my word for it. i might be right, i might be wrong.

i would hope that i'm right, though.

I dont really like nintendo's commericals....i wish they would explain what their products can do instead of just showing random people doing random things. I agree w/ #2, many people dont know wtf wifi is, and then you have to explain a wireless router, and ect. but beside that I hope the ds finally gets an update.. im tired of military time...maybe theyll give it a browser like the psp..(i doubt it) o well.. time will tell
