IIRC, unless its changed from when I looked a while back, the DS can't use the websites features, ie buying cards etc and cant play with the PSP and PC online.
Great trading card system though, granted the only one I ever played, due to the great cards, shame the online system isn't the DC cards too.

The VS system is decent. At least not a Magic: the Gathering clone like the WoW trading card game effectively is.

However, someone are also working on a Marvel MMO. Though why you would pay to play a no-name hero there instead of in established City of Heroes is a different matter.

The Marvel MMO is being developed by Cryptic (who make City of Heroes/Villains).

I have a feeling this deal is fallout from Marvel taking Cryptic to court over the charcter similarities in CoH (otherwise, why would they want to make a game that competes directly with their aging CoH franchise)?

The Marvel TCG game is pretty good. I've been playing the US version for a while. It's just a huge shame they couldn't have incorporated the DC VS cards, or maybe released two versions (like the old Capcom / SNK versions of CardFighters Clash).
