Ok this is weird

i was playing super paper mario on the nintendo wii the game is a recommendation really fun like the gamecube version only better anyways i have completed chapter one and princess peach appears on the third floor poisoned so i have to go to the first floor and get some soup for the princess and in the cook shop i find a ds connected to the wall to the left of the cook i select it by walking up to it and selecting the up key to activaite it and it says update data needed?? how weird i was wondering is nintendo planing on a update for ds connectivity for something besides pokemon weird huh im still trying to understand this any one know??

isn't it strange though that the game manual wouldn't mention it??

true

i bet maybe it will come about with the release of pokemon like being able to control the wii with the ds

I have gotten further in the game, and I know what that DS on the wall in the cook's room is for. It is used in the game to tell you how to make certain recepies with food and different items. When it says update, that means you can add more recepies to the list already on the DS. There will be no DS to Wii connectivity with this game.

It's not that weird that a Mario game would have a Nintendo handheld console that did something in the game.  In Luigi's Mansion, you use a gameboy-like thing that gives you info about your surroundings...

That's one of the main things that separates this Mario series from the rest of the Mario games.  It's like playing one of the beset franchises ever and watching a comedy show, but the comedy relates to what you are playing.  :-)
