Sounds like what Sony & M$ are already doing with their system. You can log into both Sony & M$'s websites if you own a console for either & be able to have all access to everything from their website with your signed up ID from with in the PSN or XBL accounts. So.. basically Nintendo is conforming to the norm? OMG, I never thought I'd see the day. O-o;
YES! I'm so happy Nintendo isn't going the combined console/handheld route like many have rumored, while it's great to have them more easily connected, I wouldn't have wanted that. I'm loving this idea!
