It’s good to hear Nintendo talking about improving their online functionality with 3DS and even though we don’t know much about what exactly the company are implementing I think we can assume the 3DS will take their digital facilities to the next level from the DS and Wii.

“We are thinking the release of new hardware should be good timing for a dramatic improvement of this situation. In addition to the function of ‘3D graphics without 3D glasses,’ Nintendo 3DS will have enhanced wireless communication function. Nintendo 3DS will receive various pieces of information automatically if there is a chance of communication while a user carries it even when he or she does not try to start communication proactively by unfolding Nintendo 3DS. By combining Nintendo 3DS with such function, we are now planning to expand our digital-distribution type of business.” - Satoru Iwata
