NintendoWiFi.com launched

Nintendo has launched NintendoWiFi.com to provide DS gamers with all the information needed to get online with the dual-screened handheld.

The site will have forums, technical support, hotspot lists and FAQs to make sure playing online with your DS is as painless as possible. There will also be a section where high scores and fastest times can be posted, so you can rate yourself against the best in the world.

As we revealed last week, Nintendo will be launching its UK DS WiFi support at the end of the month and the service will allow you to play games like Mario Kart with DS users right across the globe.

Currently only the US part of the site is live but the UK will soon have its own localised area with all the relevant information. There's no confirmed date as to when this will go live but, rest-assured, it will be up and running in time for the 18 November UK DS WiFi launch.

Nintendo's DS WiFi connection will be launched in the UK on 18 Novembe
