The DS sells like hotcakes. The Wii is selling like hotcakes. They're both made by Nintendo, they both utilize wi-fi...it's a match made in heaven, and yet, the two aren't really talking. They've shared longing glances across the school cafeteria, and have even passed the odd note during class, but sadly there's been no mouth-on-mouth action. Yet.

Things might be looking up in 2007, though. UK DS product Manager James Honeywell:

You will definitely see Wii and DS interoperability as soon as we have it finished. We haven't made any announcements over specific software for connectivity, but there are definitely a number of exciting things in creation which we want to bring to market as soon as possible. We're hopeful that will be next year.

Only problem is that "hopeful" is just that: hopeful. Nintendo release dates are on shaky ground after this week, so "hopeful" may well mean 2008. Which would be a crying shame. I want some Four Swords DS. Luke Plunkett
