DS Lite E3 Rumor: Mii Integration?

Apr. 19 9:24 PM by Alicia Ashby

While Nintendo continues to vigorously deny the DS redesign rumor and Famitsu tries its best to retract statements about it, an interesting new rumor about features the redesigned DS might offer has cropped up on technology blog site dbTechno. The dynamite feature? Integration with Miis.

The most likely add-on will be Mii integratioin with the new Nintendo DS. This means that users will be able to create a Mii on the Wii or DS, and then have that Mii go back and forth between the two consoles.

This could allow Nintendo to create something along the lines of the PlayStation Network or Xbox Live where users can have their Mii act as their user name for online games via the Nintendo WiFi Connection. ...

The Mii characters are also rumored to be involved in a new version of Pictochat, which will enable chat over a WiFi connection.

Why would any of that require a new DS design? Couldn't a simple firmware update do it?
