Good-bye long passwords

The DS introduces standard saving. Good-bye long passwords!


"Last week, Nintendo held a Nintendo DS developers conference and revealed that publishers will no longer be given an option of including a save feature in the [cards]. With the Nintendo DS, every DS [card] - no matter what the size, will include RAM for saving.

Ever since the dawn of of Game Boy, many publishers habe cut down cost of cartridges by not including battery save in their games, thus resulting in long codes for the gamers to write down to 'save' their progress. The [Nintendo] DS is now setting the [card] standard with RAM save in every [card].

Withe Nintendo DS having different size [cards], the size of the card will depend on how big the save RAM is in the [card]. Ram sizes will vary between 4 kilobits (standard GBA save size0 or all the way up to 512 kilobits for those upcoming masive Nintendo DS games. Of course the larger the [card], the larger the prices.

for we can all say goodbye to those pesky password."
