Wii-volution

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??

yea I saw that too...me and sister were wondering the same thing...

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

kinda, but they might just be setting up for there next DS since they are working on one!

true

Maybe Nintendo is finally going to release game updates and new levels and stuff.  I don't know about Ds connectivity because there really wouldn't be much to do that I can think of.  But I don't have the game, so I wouldn't know...

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

Well here's a screen shot of this mysterious DS on the wall.

Seems like modded PAL Wii's are being bricked by the NTSC Paper Mario update.

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.

well that makes sense i guess by why in the heck would they place a ds in the middle of a game sounds fishy to me and even weirder if it stores receipes then i would be able to access it which im still not able to and im on chapter 5 and almost completed the game so i think it still is a little screwy

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...

Paper Mario is infamous for its real world references and its offbeat humour.  It often makes reference to other games (there is a perfect recreation of world 1-2 from the original Super Mario Bros) and to other systems.  That is why the cook's recipie list looks like a DS.  Nothing more.

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.  :-)

Mario loves Nintendo. Nintendo loved DS. Mario there for loves DS, so why would he have a computer on the wall that looks like a DS. Its called advertising
