GameSpot: New International Track & Field Preview

Last night, at a Konami press event held in San Francisco, GameSpot had an opportunity to get their hands on a playable version of New International Track & Field for the first time since last year's Games Convention in Leipzig.

The online mode will even notify you while you're playing a single player game that one of your friends has jumped online. It's a no brainer for the bigger consoles but a pleasant surprise on the DS. Besides having a friends list you can also have a rivals list too."
