    Nintendo just had a meeting with some of the Press. 

    craigign on Twitter just let us in on one of the revealved secrets, which Nintendo will probably discuss further @ E3. 

    Right now, go into your Mii Channel (not Check Mii Out) and press A, B, 1, and hold 2 for five seconds. 

    Trippy, huh? 

    You will most likely need the latest firmware update for this to work.

    And for those without a Wii, it's just wireless communication with the Nintendo DS. So, perhaps this is more about the DS than the Wii. Maybe it's getting Mii support and games with them? Or the two systems will be more unified with future updates? Personally, I just care about the games...

    Also, I can't get it to detect my DS Lite or DS Phat... so, it may only work with the DSi. 

    So, maybe we can expect some new DSi only games revealed @ E3, where you can play with and transfer your Mii back and forth with your Wii?

    Just tested it on my DSi.  It was a no go.

    The feature probably hasn't been fully fleshed out yet. Doubtless more will be revealed at E3, including, I wouldn't be surprised to learn, the unveiling of a patch that will make the connectivity actually work.

    That's kewl...  My guess is that there will need to be a firmware update done on the DSi (and maybe the Wii too) for this to work.
