Nintendo is giving Seattle Mariners fans a gift at every home game this year: free access to the Nintendo® Fan Network. Fans who bring a Nintendo DS™ to Safeco Field can log on wirelessly to the Nintendo Fan Network to access a wide variety of baseball-related content. Some of the many features include access to player statistics, scores from other MLB games in progress, current team standings, chat with other fans and the ability to compete in trivia and other mini games. Additionally, fans can watch the in-stadium live broadcast video and use the Nintendo DS touch screen to order ballpark food and beverages delivered right to their seats.

The Nintendo Fan Network made its debut at Safeco Field during the 2007 season. Thousands of fans tried the Nintendo Fan Network for a minimal fee during the 2007 season trial, but fans attending Mariners home games during the 2008 season can access an even wider variety of features for free, just by bringing a Nintendo DS to Safeco Field. Fans can download the Nintendo Fan Network at one of the two kiosks located near sections 127 and 143 or at one of the 15 download stations throughout the stadium.

The Nintendo Fan Network will get an additional workout this week, when the Mariners begin a six-game home stand. Nintendo is always adding new features, so every time fans download the service, they might see something new and experience a whole new way to enjoy the game.

For more information about the Nintendo Fan Network, please visit the Nintendo Fan Network kiosks at Safeco Field.

It was only a few weeks ago that a new Castlevania title was rumored (and later confirmed) to be releasing on the Nintendo DS. Well, folks, it seems as though another Castlevania game has appeared, and similarly to last time, no one knows anything about it. The only detail that has been discovered is the name of the new installment in the series. Apparently, this new Castlevania title will be called Castlevania Judgement. Perhaps this is wishful thinking on my part, but there’s a chance that this game may show up on the Wii. After all, the series has, essentially, conquered the DS – Is it possible that the developers of Castlevania may be finally ready to jump on the Wii bandwagon?
