We've discussed this game a bit before, and speculated about it having online wireless play.  That's been confirmed, along with some more details about it:

News - Age of Empires DS details
Posted by Richard Brownell at 07:08:06 PM EST on 5.14.2005.

We found some Age of Empires DS screens and information a couple months ago and only just now has some further details come from Majesco.

Before, we had determined that AoE DS will be a remake of Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings and that seems to still be the case, as is it not being real-time, but rather a fast-paced turn-based strategy. The five civilizations will be the Britons, Franks, Mongols, Saracens, and Japanese. The "over 50 units" we mentioned is now over 45 and some hero units mentioned are Richard the Lionheart, Ghengis Khan, Joan of Arc, and Robin Hood. There are also over 50 technology upgrades to research.

In addition, wireless play was confirmed. Up to four players will be able to link together using the DS's built-in wireless technology.

"Age of Empires has set the gold standard for real-time strategy games and its global audience continues to grow," said Ken Gold, vice president of Marketing at Majesco. "Our portable version provides an exceptional game experience by taking advantage of the new DS features..."

Age of Empires: The Age of Kings is current set to be released in the holiday season 2005. With a holiday release pending, it probably doesn't matter that Majesco's E3 lineup did not include AoE:AoK. We'll probably still see it there.
