It's odd, after thoroughly reading the patent, it seems as if this was for the Gameboy Color but then it says it was filed March 24th 2004 and renewed(?) on september the 9th of 2004.
Original provisional filing was 1999. It's old and referring to the IR port on the GBC.

No no, you're right. They've been hinting at groups. That's for sure! I was just keeping hotspots in the game until they've been ruled out. =)

Alright, one down (IGNton), one to go.
I have a feeling this one will end up in a major disappointment, as all Nintendo speculation:
1 - The technology for a practical, usable huge ass adhoc network utilizing portable devices just isn't there. If it was, we would have seen mass market test applications prior to NDS.
2 - If there would be an exclusive with any real significance to the consumer, it would be given to Wall Street Journal, USA Today Wired or EDGE, instead of fansites called "N-Sider" or "Nintendojo".
3 - If Nintendo had accomplished anything significant in the online gaming side, they would have bragged the hell out of it all the way. All they have for the time being is local wireless play, which isn't even halfway of the global GPRS wireless gaming with voIP devices like Ngage can do.
4. - If they had some stunning software in their sleeves, word would have slipped out somewhere. They must have already got it agerated at several bodies, worked on manuals and packaging, talked with retailers.
I stick with my original predicition:
- On 7.10. Nintendo will announce 3-4 first-party games for launch, rest for next year and beyond
- Most likely games for launch are Super Mario 64x4, Wario Ware DS and Animal Crossing DS
- The innovative features Nintendo will hype are touch screen, second screen usage and wireless local multiplayer, not wifi.
- Games announced for next year and beyond are Metroid Prime: Hunters, Mario Kart DS, Nintendogs, New Super Mario Bros.
- Whatever Warppipe is doing, if anything, relates to a way of connecting through a cable or ADSL connection, and is not associated with Nintendo themself.
Daydreams are lovely, especially for a Nintendo fan who in reality is only treated with GC-GBA connectivity in reality. There is a time to snap out of it, however. There is no trump card Nintendo is still hiding. Stop kidding yourself.
And yes, I have my Nintendo DS preordered from play-asia and look really forward playing the above mentioned games, as well as the Sega love game and the surgical game.

Planetgamecube with the Warp pipe interview:

Far more official sounding than before.

Hell no, I've loved every min of this. And he was asked direct questions, its not like he posted "no comment" on his own website. Sometimes that's all you can say to a direct question. Its common practice when cornered.

Gotta say that I've still loved that part too.
The net was actually fun for a few days. Now we go back to same ole same ole.

That doesn't sound good, as pretty much everyone expects online gaming.

I think its just a reference to "thinking outside of the box" After all, Seaman, Made in Wario and EyeToy weren't what everyone expected either.
Society said:Well not really. We know what it will be sold separately ... so maybe GBA cart? That is not traditional.
They've stated its a "service" I haven't seen mention of an add on at all. But who knows?

Ok well I'll just assume for a second that it's not online gaming (which I'm beginning to think is the case). So what is it? Here's an idea:
There's still an unused port on the DS that could possibly be used for a camera. Warp Pipe Technologies is developing software that utilizes the camera and microphone for voice and video chat to be used in games. They will license this out to devs to use as they please. The bottom screen could be used for the game and the top for video chat. It would still be up to the devs to incorporate online play into their own games, but all communication could be handled by the Warp Pipe software.
This idea fits the "no money from end consumer," "unmask yourself!", "social and personal aspects," and "it's not tunneling" things we've heard straight from Chad himself. It also fits well with the picture hints (you can find people with voice and video chat, the man with no eyes is given the ability to see with the DS, you are no longer isolated, etc). While this would be cool, I'd be a bit disappointed since I'm not sure how many devs want to go the online route without support from Nintendo themselves.
Also I wanna play Animal Crossing online, damnit!

Oh my, this even made it Slashdot under completely incorrect terms: http://games.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/09/28/2012202&tid=207&tid=193
Seriously though, I probably would have more of a genuine hype for this news had it just been mentioned straight out, and none of this silly cat and mouse crap was done. Heh, but it's always going to happen, this is not just an IGN thing, your local news and even national news do this too, with minor boring news The nice thing is they don't try to drop hints and clues, they just leave out enough information to keep you listening.
Anyways, this is nothing major. I would expect another tunneling device, or perhaps a physical device that let's you connect through hotspots and whatnot without your computer, which many others in this thread had already mentioned numerous times. I wish people would stop mentioning "Nintendo" and leave it at "Warp Pipe". Not exactly you guys here, but people outside of here that buy into the hype.

Found this.....
Yesterday, GamersMark received word of Warp Pipe Industries becoming a legit company and addressed a possible conspiracy concerning the company and Nintendo itself. Well, today we can exclusively confirm what seems to be explosive news. Apparently, Nintendo, Warp Pipe Industries, and Panasonic are working currently working on an Online gaming service for the Nintendo DS and Nintendos next home platform, codenamed Revolution
Our information comes from contacts close to Nintendo, the closest they can be and what we can reveal is that Nintendos collaboration with Warp Pipe and Panasonics Online Center, Purog, plans to deliver a free online gaming service for both of Nintendos future platforms.
In addition to this, on October 7th Square-Enix will be making some interesting announcements, one of which concerns an MMORPG developed by Nintendo second party and developers of Sword of Mana Brownie Brown.
You heard it here first.
Hard to believe, we'll see.
