E3:Disney gets social with Nintendo DS

Your IT - Entertainment

DGamer will piggyback on the Nintendo DS Wi-Fi network allowing players to get social within a Disney online environment.

Arriving in North America next May, the DGamer, a Disney Interactive Studios collaboration with Nintendo will see DS hand-held owners able to access a new social network. 

Coming bundled with all Disney produced DS games DGamer will allow users to create and customise online avatars, visit chat rooms with other DS owners, check out leader boards and post votes to online polls.  There will also be a specific DGamer Channel accessible through www.disney.com.

There will also be unlockable special content linked to challenges within DGamer enabled games.

Created by Fall Line Studio (Disney owned) the first games to implement DGamer will be the recently announced The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, Spectrobes II, and Hanna Montana 3, all coming next year for the DS.

Disney does plan to open the service to a wider worldwide audience at an unspecified later date.
