Nintendo DS owners are to get free Wi-Fi access at nearly 6,000 McDonald's restaurants across the US, enabling them to play Mario Kart whilst munching on a Big Mac.
Through an agreement with Wayport, a Wi-Fi Internet access provider, users will be able to access Nintendo's Wi-Fi Connection, the video game giant's new wireless gaming service that goes live on November 14.
Detailed information about the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, as well as a list of participating Wayport/McDonbald's hotspots, will be soon available at http://www.nintendowifi.com.
Nintendo's DS is the first Nintendo system to connect via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. The same service will be incorporated into Nintendo's next-generation home vide games console, code named Revoultion, which is set for release in 2006.

I'd like to know where these are operating in the UK. The report is notably light on this. I wonder why?
