DGamer - New Disney Online Community

[WDWfanatic742]

Disney is currently about to release and start a new game up. It's called DGamer. Looks alot like the VMK characters but I'll leave you to decide for yourself.

Looks like it will only be available for Nintendo DS. I highly doubt I'll drop 100 or so bucks on the system and then money for each game/movie or whatever those things are that it says that it will work with.

I believe you can also access it from your pc. I do not believe you have to have the Nintendo DS.

OK I'm here. Is this going to be an online game like VMK or for Nintendo. If this is for Nintendo then I can't get it cause I don't have a Nintendo.

According to Wikipedia:

DGamer (Disney Gamer) is an online game and social network service developed by Disney for use with Nintendo DS games. DGamer will be accessible via the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection or computer via the DGamer Channel on Disney.com. The service was implemented by Fall Line Studios and Disney Interactive Studios.[1]

It will launch in North America in May 2008, coinciding with the release of the DS version of The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian.[2] All subsequent Disney Interactive Studios DS games are expected to include DGamer features. There is one problem: Since there hasn't been that much information released to the public about DGamers, many people are unsure if they will be able to play the game without a Nitendo DS.

The game will be opening up on May 15, 2008.

I just went to that link and that's about the most confusing thing.

You can buy something! Or it may be free.

You can personalize and socialize! To what end?

It will be hip and cool! Oh, yeah... as if kids need more of that. Thank you again, Disney, for helping Dreamworks make kids hip and cool.

You know what kids need? A happy, safe place like a...hmm... virtual Disney park. Oh wait... they're cancelling that. Riiiight.

Tricks summed that up nicely.

After reading everything, I'm still confused but.. it looks like you have to get DGamer, which will be included with all new Disney DS games, starting with the release of Narnia. After that you can access it from your PC on the DGamer channel of Disney.com. Unlike most Nintendo games.. this one is running off Disney servers.

We have a Dual screen DS.. so, I can try it out and let you know. It is being compared to VMK only in that, it's moderated and has a dictionary. It appears to be more advergaming, which is what VMK was. You will need to use friend codes to hook up.

Two more days till the release of Narnia.

Is this why VMK is closing? Seems a little coincendental, and we never even had warning about this. So far RainyDaisy is the only person that got this email.

Not coughing up the cash for a DS to play this one.

Actually I got notice of this a few weeks ago but had no idea what it was when it said DS I just deleted the e-mail.
