Online support seems like a prerequisite for any decent RTS release, but it's never safe to assume with DS and Wii games. Thankfully, the boxart for Ecolis indicates that the InterChannel title will make use of Nintendo's WiFi connection in addition to its "download play" features. We're not sure if that means online duels, item shops, or a near-useless messaging system, but it's something -- a quantity that's arguably better than nothing.
If you haven't been properly introduced, Ecolis is a strategy title in which you command an army of woodland creatures against the pollution and deforestation taking over their homes. You'll also be tackling issues like global warming and recycling while you plant new trees to restore damaged forests. The eco-friendly message doesn't end there; as evidenced by the panda stamped on the game's packaging, a portion of Ecolis' proceeds will be donated to Japan's World Wide Fund for Nature.

Captain Planet. He's our hero.
Gonna take pollution down to zero.
Gonna put asunder
Bad guys who like to pollute the yonder.
I'll get you Captain Planet.
We're the Planeteers. You can be one too.
Because saving the planet is the thing to do.
Pollutin' and pollutin' are not the way
Hear what Captain Planet has to say.
The power is yours!
Also Fern Gully and Dewey's Adventure.
