Nintendo announced on Wednesday that the Wii and DS will have connectivity capabilities.  This will turn the DS into a controller for the Wii as well and allow you to view your DS games on your TV.  In the past Nintendo has embraced connectivity between portables and their consoles so this doesn’t come as much surprise.  What does come as a surprise however is that this opens the door for a patent that has been approved recently that includes an instant messaging system with a fully customizable user profile, contact list, in-game messaging, and proprietary e-mail functionality for the DS and Wii. Nintendo always seems to have another trick up their sleeves.  Via Ubergizmo
