Nintendo Testing Fan Network for MLB Games


Who needs a PDA?

Nintendo wants to bring interactive entertainment to baseball games through its DS Lite, reports The Associated Press.

The gaming company is testing what it's calling the Nintendo Fan Network at the home ballpark of the Seattle Mariners.

By installing a bit of software on a DS Lite, fans can access a live TV feed of the game, along with features like trivia, player stats and more. The DS Lite has wireless connectivity, which is what allows for such usage.

While in the early testing stages, Nintendo is selling $5 access for a single game. Fans can also purchase access to 10 games for $30. Kiosks in the ballpark allow attendees to grab the software.

The Mariners are promoting the network with in-ballpark ads, but not very many of them.
