The Starpulse News Blog today picks up on news that Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection has now reached 2 millions users. "To put that number in perspective, the population of Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection users now surpasses the population of 15 different U.S. states, including Montana, Nebraska and New Mexico," the article states.

The service has also logged more than 70 million individual game sessions in just over nine months of operation.

"Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection continues to set the standard for easy, fun and safe wireless gaming," says George Harrison, Nintendo of America's senior vice president of marketing and corporate communications.

Nintendo also today launched Star Fox Command for Nintendo DS, the first-ever portable, Wi-Fi-enabled Star Fox game. Up to four players can meet up on Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection to blow each other out of the sky in white-knuckle dogfights. Players can use the DS touchscreen to draw their flight plans, steer their Arwing fighters and drop bombs on enemies.
