Description:

Players move into a living, breathing world inside the Nintendo DS...and then invite their friends to visit from anywhere on earth. In Animal Crossing: Wild World, the sequel to the popular Nintendo GameCube game, players and up to three friends can hang out in the same village and interact in real time -- either through wireless LAN or over Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. Players can visit a friend's village from thousands of miles away. The touch screen makes item management and world navigation a breeze. Typing letters and designing patterns are now just stylus strokes away. Days and seasons pass in real time, so whether players want to decorate their homes, catch bugs or fish, collect brand-new items like hats and sunglasses or just chat with the wild and wacky characters in their villages, there's always something to do.

Nintendo DS games use a proprietary solid state ROM DS game card format resembling the DS memory cards used in other portable electronic devices such as digital cameras. DS game Cards currently range from 64 Megabits to 4 Gigabits (8-512 Megabytes) in size (although the maximum capacity is unknown) The DS game cards usually have a small amount of flash memory or an EEPROM to save user data such as game progress or high scores. However, there are a small number of games that have no save memory such as Electroplankton. The DS game cards are 33.0 mm × 35.0 mm × 3.8 mm (about half the breadth and depth as Game Boy Advance cartridges) and weigh around 3.5 grams (1/8 oz).
Based on an IGN blog by the developer of MechAssault: Phantom War, larger (such as 128 MB) DS game cards have a slower data transfer rate than the more common smaller (such as 64 MB) DS game cards;however, the specific rates were not mentioned.
