Nintendo Details Made in Ore Connectivity

Don't forget, Made in Ore is a retail release. Asobu Made in Ore for Wii is a WiiWare download.

Nintendo gave the Made in Ore official website an update today, at last opening up the "Morau," or "Receive," section of the site. Previously, the site only had its "Make" and "Play" sections accessible.

The following three points are highlighted in this area. Click the links to access their respective pages:

:: Trade With Friends

You can trade with your friends the games, records, and manga that you've made. The connectivity allows you to send the game from DS to DS directly, from DS to DS via Wi-Fi Connection, and from DS to Wii's Asobu Made in Wario.

The Wi-Fi Connection stuff is, expectedly, based off friend codes. You can store friend codes for at most 50 people.

It appears that the person you're sending stuff to doesn't actually have to be online, as you send your content to a storage area (which I presume is kept on Nintendo's servers) from which your friend downloads the content later. You can have up to two each of the games, records, and manga (for a total of six pieces of content) in storage at a time.

In general, you can edit the games, records, and manga that your friends send you, turning them into new works. However, it's possible to lock your production so no one can edit it.

:: Game Shop Ninten

From here, you can download new games. There are three categories here:

Almost Weekly Software

Nintendo will offer two new games almost every week (almost)

That person made a game!

This area will feature original games from famous people

Themed Software

Games that win periodic contests that Nintendo holds will be distributed here

This part of the official site will have a list of available games at some point.

:: Contest

NIntendo will hold themed contests periodically. You can submit your games for consideration in these contests via Wi-Fi Connection. The game allows just one submission per contest per person. Prizes? Just the honor of your game getting distributed to other players.

Aside from this official site update, Nintendo recently opened a Touch-DS.jp page for the game. You can access a lengthy introduction movie, and two commercials. The commercials feature comedian Nabeatsu, who can also be seen in this Made in Ore feature.

Made in Ore and Asobu Made in Ore hit, respectively, the DS and Wii on April 29.
