Nintendo announced its wireless connectivity plans for the Nintendo DS, unveiling a deal with IGN's GameSpy network for free WiFi gaming at home (if you have a wireless router and broadband Internet) or at any number of WiFi hotspots. The network will launch sometime in 2005... At E3, Nintendo is expected to announce another revision to the GameBoy Advance hardware. Word is that it will have a built-in wireless network adapter (which makes sense considering the WiFi news) and maybe even the Play-yan A/V adapter that reads SD cards and can play back MP3 audio and MP4 video. Sounds like Nintendo might have some return fire for Sony's PSP, and possibly (gasp!) an online strategy...
