Nintendo's Wi-Fi Connection service for the DS logged its 2 millionth unique user late last week, according to the company. Total individual game sessions have reached 70 million since the service's launch.
Nintendo plans to continue its foray into online play with its upcoming console, the Wii. The next-gen system will feature WiiConnect24, an online service that will send downloads and updates to the console, which will be "always on."
