Nintendo updates DS baseball app with live ESPN data

For the 2009 baseball season, Nintendo has announced new updates to the Nintendo Fan Network, the suite of utilities and games available only at Seattle's Safeco Field. The new version of the Nintendo Fan Network features ESPN content including news about Mariners baseball and other sports, ESPN baseball columns, fantasy sports information, and "ESPN Zoom Game, a photo-matching game for sports." The new updates also feature closed captioning for PA announcements!

The Fan Network retains its previous features, including weather information, video, networked trivia games, and a food and drink order service.

If you don't have a DS with which to access the service, or if you just want to mess with a DSi, NIntendo is offering free rentals of the device for the first 150 people to ask for one during home games in the season's first three months.
