SN launches online tools for Cube
Third parties band together
IGN reports that SN Systems has announced a Network Development Kit (NDK) for Nintendo GameCube, which will allow developers to build online functions into their Cube releases, from the obvious multiplayer battles to more subtle functionality like in-game chat, the infernal buddy lists and even web browsing. The toolkit is said to include a TCP/IP stack that runs on the console, suitable for linking game code to the Internet view both the broadband and modem adapters Nintendo have planned for release. Interested developers should contact SN, and interested gamers should wait and see who dares put it to use first. Related Feature - Xbox Live Demodulated
