Whee! Wii? Whee!

I thought up of an idea while browsing game forums.

Now, if anybody knows, the Wii has Wifi capabilities and is able to communicate with the DS.

I posted the following on Gamefaqs-Wii General, Wii60.com and Lowyat.net forums:

I just hit an idea.

Program a game that is downloadable using the VC for a low price, playable in short burst, but high on multiplayer content.

Use the Wifi in the Wii and use the download play option on the DS to load the game. Ergo, huge LAN party!

Or using the same method, make the Wii into a sort of server that can host the multiplayer games on such VC-DS games, but also allowing access to chatrooms, VoIP and stuff like that.


I have also added the following:
However, instead of having one game = one DS user, have one game able to be used on multiple DSs. Now think of it like a muliplayer bomberman, played on the DS, while the TV that is connected to the TV will show the whole battle. Sort of like an obs cam.

Now think of using that idea in MP:H, or RTS (if they ever make one for the DS), bomberman, mario kart (Look it's F1 Live on the TV! No! It's Mario Kart Live!) Tetris, and many other Wifi games that fits in.

Or you have quick simple games like multiplayer missile command.

Hell, you can even do it the other way around from the DS to Wii!

Now, if only Nintendo would come up with a DS cart-RW flash storage that can store games downloaded from the Wii...... Think of the possibilities!

I think i'm hyped up lol.

The new idea is not having the Wii as a server, but instead connected to the TV to show all the player's position/data on maps, etc. When connected to the TV, the Wii can be used to display for example, in a racing game, who's leading from a thrid person perspective, or perhaps even from the first person perspective. It gives a chance for people who are not involved in the game to view what exactly is happening without having to look over someone's shoulder. And I bet you if there ever is a tourney game for this, it's a great setup, as you can connect the wii to practically any TV screen!

This is the lowyat.net one (with the most replies and most of them mine :(). The gamefaqs and wii60.com dies in obscurity... http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=318098

Just one question, real time bomberman over the net, you sure the lag won't kill the game??

Imagine running it with 500ms latency.

I'm not sure about bomberman, but running tetris, mario kart over wifi and the internet has been ok so far.
