Nintendo President Satoru Iwata dangles another feature carrot in the lead-up to the release of the Wii: connected to the internet, it can serve as a source for the Download Play feature of the DS, meaning you’ll be able to get all the latest demos as they’re released.

What’s not mentioned in this interview, though, is the capability for the DS to download not just from the Wii Connect 24 service but also from a game. Clever game developers can push a mini-game onto the DS that also can talk back to the Wii, giving players the chance to collect some points or catch some fish or whatever while they’re away from home; something similar to Microsoft’s “Live Anywhere” service, but without the hassle of needing a PocketPC or a certain kind of phone to use it.
