Using the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection in the Nintendo DS, DGamer will allow players to interact and chat with each other locally in the same room or throughout the world via the Internet. DGamer players will be able to create a customized personal avatar, make new friends, chat with friends, view friends' high scores and vote in polls.
"DGamer leverages the creativity and innovation of Disney Interactive Studios in a ground-breaking new way on the Nintendo DS," said Graham Hopper, executive vice president and general manager, Disney Interactive Studios. "Building upon the robust, family friendly features of the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, Disney game fans, kids and parents will have an online community like no other to communicate in a fun environment."
DGamer will be included at no additional charge in Disney Interactive Studios' Nintendo DS games coming next year based on popular franchises, including The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, Spectrobes II and Hannah Montana 3. With each of these games, players can customize their game-themed backgrounds, items, skins and avatar costumes. DGamer "Honors" can be earned by completing challenges in-game or online to unlock exclusive content in their game or DGamer online profile. Players can also trade items, such as avatar costumes, with other players worldwide or give them away as gifts. DGamer synchronizes to allow players to view and customize their community both on their Nintendo DS through the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection and their computer via the DGamer Channel on Disney.com.
Speed chatting with other Disney gamers is a way to interact using preset phrases and answers. With parental permission, players can exchange "True Friends" Codes with known, trusted friends to enable chat.
