Two great "toys" that might play well together ... maybe

Developer Digital Works, announced that eventually, sometime, they were going to make some sort of game-thing for the DS based on the Rubik's Cube. And lo did the speculation begin across the interwebs, with discussion of timed WiFi modes and minigames. And why? Because the above is pretty much all they said. Will it be just a cube? Will it include Rubik's Revenge? And the biggest question of all -- what is the point when there are a few collecting dust in a box somewhere in the garage?Sure, we can understand the seeming logic of putting what was once the world's biggest "toy" on the current biggest "toy." We can even visualize how this could work. There could actually be a game. But a full-fledged DS game, for which we must shell out far, far too much of our slave labor earnings? Seems a bit of a stretch. They'd better start innovating, and fast.

Gotta love cash-ins. I hope they're smart enough to release it in Japan as Color-Based Puzzle Cube Training For Adults.

I hope you'll be able to get a cheat that lets you peel the stickers off so that even I can win ;)

Why not bluetooth? Wifi is more protected?

Max- I don't think this is some kind of Rubik's Cube that interfaces with the DS. I think this is a DS game based on or simulating the Rubik's Cube. Hence the Wifi.

I was at this booth. I took a picture of the girl who was wearing a Rubik's Cube on her head. I cannot tell where they are going with this, but I am puzzled by it.
