If you mosey on down to the GTA: Chinatown Wars official site you’ll notice that a Nintendo Wi-Fi connection logo is proudly displayed at the bottom of the page. Exciting no? No, it isn’t, but let’s have a closer look anyway.
Wi-fi? WTF?
We already know that GTA: Chinatown Wars features touch screen controls, a new graphics engine and a winter release date, but online play has never been mentioned.
When I first saw the Wi-Fi Connection logo, I didn’t think that was hard enough evidence, but after checking out a single player DS game, in this case Sonic Chronicles - The Dark Brotherhood, I noticed that there was no Nintendo WFC logo displayed on the site, which, for me, is solid enough evidence.
So if Chinatown Wars does have online, will it be any good? Since we don’t even know whether the game is 2D or 3D, it’s pretty hard to tell, but judging from GTA IV’s online which, other than Free mode is frankly terrible, past online DS games and Nintendo’s Friend Code system, I’m gonna go with a resounding ‘no’.

So what if it has a friend code system? These are Nintendos first steps into the online world and judging from games like AC:WW and MPH online can be brilliant on the DS, it is only terrible 3rd party devs that ruin the experience.
