The Wi-Fi Connection website now shows the service has over a million unique gamers, with over 26.5 million connections so far!

Not bad for an online service currently supported by just three games, which has only been operational for four months. The popularity of the Connection can only mean good things for the future - with games in development now even more likely to have online capabilities.

The number of users (currently 1,000,238 and counting) is only set to rise even higher, with the upcoming releases of Lost Magic, Metroid Prime: Hunters and Tetris DS (and of course Animal Crossing still for us Europeans... damn delays).

As for the number of connections, it's actually risen by about a hundred since the start of this article. 26,504,469... 70... 71...
