Nintendo working on software for DS/Wii connectivity

In speaking with UK news site MCV, Nintendo's very own DS Product Manager James Honeywell confirmed that the company is working on software to further bring the DS and Wii together, beyond the only title we've seen with the feature so far in Pokemon Battle Revolution. James also speaks on Nintendo's exact focus for this, claiming that Nintendo's competitors "might offer connectivity between formats, but it concentrates on media capabilities, rather than the fun and interaction you'll get when you bring our two consoles together."

James, obviously, didn't drop any names that the company plans on utilizing this feature with in the future. He did, however, further emphasize that DS/Wii connectivity is going to be something entirely different than Nintendo's rivals, where the Xbox 360 and PC connect for streaming video and other media-related goodies. James says the "link-up between Wii and DS will be much more about offering new forms of gameplay, fun and interaction." Sounds good, but give us game names already!
