'Animal Crossing'-Like 'Treasure Troves' Taking DS Wi-Fi Abilities To New Extremes

Konami was onto something when they allowed Wi-Fi spots to produce unique soldiers to be used in the PSP game "Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops."

The technique hasn't been used in other portable games, but Aspyr is taking the concept in some interesting new directions with the tentatively titled "Treasure Troves" on DS.

The closet comparison is "Animal Crossing" but "Treasure Troves" is so early in development that it's hard to say much about the gameplay yet. What Aspyr told MTV Multiplayer about the Wi-Fi capabilities of the game, however, is much more interesting.
