Via IGN: "Earlier today, Disney Interactive Studios revealed that its DGamer service for the Nintendo DS and PC has gone live. This service, which will be a part of each Nintendo DS game Disney Interactive Studios publishes from this day forward, brings forth some very cool, interactive, online features: achievements, live chat with other DGamer users, and personal customizations and unlockables based upon the game they're playing.
We had the opportunity to throw a few questions towards Mark McArthur, development director at Fall Line Studios to find out more about the DGamer service."

A few months ago, Disney revealed that, starting in 2008, games that it will produce for the Nintendo DS will feature something called Dgamer. Dgamer is an integrated option in games that enables owners to socially interact with other owners of Disney games over the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection system. Disney stopped by the IGN offices this week to show this feature in action.
Disney Interactive will introduce a new online DS service called DGamer in May that will enable users to create their own Disney-related DS profiles, make their own avatars, track accomplishments, correspond and trade collected items over the DS wi-fi connection.
The service is only planned for DS, but Disney said it hopes to introduce a similar concept on the Wii in the future. The new feature will debut on The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, due out in May, and Disney expects to release 10 more DGamer titles in 2008.
IGN explains how the service works.
