WiFi For Nintendo DS at McDonald's

McDonald's and Nintendo and Wayport will offer free Wi-Fi access to owners of the Nintendo DS mobile gaming system starting next month, using Wayport's existing wireless network at some 6,000 of the hamburger chain's locations.
The offer is being promoted as part of Nintendo's launch of its Wi-Fi Connection service on Nov. 14, which allows owners of its DS system to play games head-to-head, much like Microsoft's xBox Live service allows broadband users to link their video game consoles online. Nintendo's iconic Mario Kart franchise will be the first title to allow for play over the Wi-Fi service, along with Activision's Tony Hawk American SK8Land, and future titles such as Animal Crossing, Wild World and Metroid Prime Hunters.
Nintendo gamers using the McDonald's hookup will be able to launch into the worldwide WiFi Connection network, or play locally against other people in a restaurant location. Spokesmen for Nintendo labelled the deal as a great way to get additional users into the Wi-Fi service, and to introduce them to some of the online gaming capabilites it plans to offer in its Revolution gaming console, which will launch sometime in 2006.
