Also, if you like to keep track of this sort of thing, you should know that "sound loading" has taken the lead on our list of "Things We Most Hope That A Time Traveler From The Past Sees and Has Their Mind Blown to Smithereens." Congrats, D3. You did it.

Very nice. And very quickly. This is a nice addition for people who doesn't have WiFi.
I wonder wnat happens if I scream at the mic... maybe I would generate the most awesome stage.

What?! That's crazy.
How in the hell do people come up with this stuff?
Gotta admit, though...it's pretty awesome.

It's pretty awesome. And the game looks very good (developed by Treasure... how can it be bad?).
I think the release date is today, right? I need to pick this game today.

DO YOU KNOW HOW I GOT THIS STAGE?
When I was a little boy, my father liked to play DS. He would play all night, as my mother sat by, bored to death. One night was especially bad; he had finished an eight hour session of Nintendogs, and he burst into my room. I was studying Calculus.
"WHY SO SERIOUS? Why don't we put a smile on that face?"
Then he pulled out my DS and forced his level into my Bangai-O. The sounds.. I will never forget the sounds.

I'm so glad the phrase "he forced his level into my Bangai-O" is in context.

This was done for the Atari over 20 years ago. And many PCs at the time loaded off of cassettes, as well :

maybe some of you guys are too young to remember the sound of a fax machine sending data over phone lines...but that's basically the system that Treasure emulated

Wow, they took technology that was used by modems for the past few decades and implemented it into a hand held game, impressive.
It could, however, be impressive when someone decodes how it works and makes a program to do this on the computer.

That is the most ghetto tunneling I've ever seen. I wonder why there isn't just some mode that let's you save to and load from your computer using wi-fi. That would replicate nearly all of the functionality here but with decidedly less data loss. Is there at least a mode for transfering directly to another DS via wi-fi?

Yeah, I seriously hope Joystiq was being facetious here. Devolving back to modem technology hardly seems life-changing.

It would have been really cool if they recorded a level on cassette tape and played it on their boom box! That's how we did it back in the day!

I can't wait for the acoustic coupler peripheral.

Reminds me of back in the day on my TI 994A when I used to load games from an audio cassette that you placed next to the computer. Talk about a nostalgia-trip :)

Yeah this is cool but they've had the option to convert MUSIC into a PICTURE file on a PC for a while now, which is decidedly cooler.
