Take Me Out To The Ball Game: Nintendo Tests Fan Network
Nothing quite says a day at the ballpark like Nintendo! The DS Lite is being tested at the Seattle Mariners' Safeco Field in a program called the Nintendo Fan Network. For US $5 per game, fans can use software that allows them to watch a live TV feed, pull up stats, order food and play trivia games on their DSes. Five bucks a game? Yikes! Says Nintendo corporate affairs manager J.C. Smith:
For us it's really just the initial stage. We didn't want to push it hard until we were sure the services were working. We're now to that point where we're like, 'Let's push it out further.' It has been a process.
Currently, there are only two download stations — however, the system isn't even mentioned on the Mariners' site. Odd because, you know, Nintendo owns the Mariners and all! But like Smith said, they're not at the push hard stage.
