Mariners' Nintendo Fan Network Goes Free

The Nintendo Fan Network rolled out at the Seattle Mariners Safeco Field during the 2007 season, giving DS-toting fans access to a bunch of MLB stats and in-game progress reports for a small fee.

Today Nintendo announced that the service is going to be free at home games this year. Gamers who bring their DS with them to Safeco will be able to wirelessly log into the Nintendo Fan Network. Features include access to player statistics, scores from other MLB games in progress, current team standings, chat with other fans and the ability to compete in trivia and other mini games. Additionally, fans can watch the in-stadium live broadcast video and use the Nintendo DS touch screen to order ballpark food and beverages delivered right to their seats.

New features are also being prepped for the service as well, though Nintendo was mum about them.

Seattle Mariners DS Lite?


I think you can file this one under, "Because we can". Seattlites who can reach Safeco Field in an orderly, single-filed manner can get their own piece of Nintendo/slash/Seattle Mariners' goodness for only $158. A great idea, but you would think they could do something more over the top than just spank a logo on a DS Lite and call it a day. Where's the team line-up? Where are the team colors? More importantly, where's the free bubble gum? Kim Phu More »
