Konami is promising wireless multiplayer content, and even the ability to send demos to friends. If that weren't enough, there's also going to be a Jukebox where you can partake in the tunes from 15 games.It is recommended that you donbig sunglasses and a hot pink sweatband, while hoisting the DS to your shoulder andboppingaround awkwardly -otherwisea fully immersive '80's effectmay not be achieved.
