The newest bit of info to be listed over at Famitsu says that with the Wi-fi connection you can go shopping for items online. This is an interesting idea and allows for a lot of modification on the server side.  The game may not be coming out for another five months almost but the info keeps on a flowin’.

Every piece of news that comes out for this game makes waiting for July that much harder.  When the news came out that you could interact with other people over Wi-fi I was happy that they were using the abilities of the DS but upset that there really wasn’t a reason to do it other than to say hi to people on your DS, and show off what you have done.

Now that you can go shopping this adds another level to even connecting with people.  The news states that you should probably access the online shop each day because items will be on rotations and new items will appear in the shop.  You should also connect with friends and shop at their store because they might not have the same set of items that you do, causing massive amounts of people to be bouncing between all their friends stores.

If that isn’t enough to get you excited there are still two more little tidbits.  The first being that there will more than likely be holiday related items in the stores to buy for your character.  Christmas and probably New Year’s being the big ones at first.  The second bit is that they are also adding downloadable quests like the Monster Hunter series has had for a while.  This should really boost replayability of this title.
