Erik Johnson Posted November 16, 2005 Posted November 16, 2005 Yes I love Nintendo. And yes I love Mario Kart. The best Mario Kart game has been released and its only for the handheld Nintendo DS. It also can be played via wi-fi on the internet...though I have not much luck finding matches yet. The game plays very well. The graphics are better than the Nintendo 64 one, but not quite as good as the Gamecube one. Though I find this one to be superior to the Gamecube one. Check it out if you happen to be a Nintendo DS fan. Here are some pictures. Its really great, it is a system selling game for sure. So I decided to play one-player. I just did not have any luck finding a game, though I only let it try for about 2 mins. Maybe in another week or so it will be easier. It was very easy to set it up with my wireless network. OK I tried to use the wi-fi network feature. Well, I will make a better one later. Yes you can pick your name, plus you can make your own logo for your car. Booting up the game. There is even a wi-fi manual with the game to help you out...though setup was a breeze. Here is the back of the box, check out how many race tracks there are. Yes, Mario Kart DS has arrived.
DeliriumTrigger Posted November 16, 2005 Posted November 16, 2005 It also can be played via wi-fi on the internet...though I have not much luck finding matches yet. I got it as well...I love it. As for wifi, the server is up but is having problems.  http://www.nintendowifi.com/troubleshooting/SystemStatus.jsp  The cool thing about wifi matches is you're given a "friend code"...so when you put in your friends' codes, it'll automatically find them for you if they're on.
Erik Johnson Posted November 16, 2005 Author Posted November 16, 2005 (edited) Hey do you want to be friends>? Edited November 16, 2005 by Erik Johnson
DeliriumTrigger Posted November 16, 2005 Posted November 16, 2005 Sure thing. I'll shoot you a PM with my friend code (it doesn't go by handle so you never get the "username not available" problem)
Erik Johnson Posted November 16, 2005 Author Posted November 16, 2005 Well you have been confirmed to my friends list, I almost was able to join your game
Wes Posted November 16, 2005 Posted November 16, 2005 (edited) That's actually pretty cool. Part of me really wants to try it out, but I don't want to plunk down 2 Ben's to play one game (see Xbox/Halo). Â test Edited November 18, 2005 by Wes
DragonKhan Posted November 16, 2005 Posted November 16, 2005 Wait for the bundle that will come out. $129 for a red DS plus Mario Kart. That's what I'm waiting for...
Wes Posted November 16, 2005 Posted November 16, 2005 ^ When's that being released? Â EDIT: fucking googled it. november 29th. but the prices say $150. hmmm.
DragonKhan Posted November 16, 2005 Posted November 16, 2005 My bad, got confused. But still. I'll shell out that much money for just that game! Besides the fact that there are stlll many great games to come out!

Teddymonster Posted November 16, 2005 Posted November 16, 2005 I would kick all of your asses at Mario Kart! Now, if I only had a DS. :shock:
DeliriumTrigger Posted November 16, 2005 Posted November 16, 2005 Well friend mode in multiplayer seems to work. Just had a nice long 4 person race over some of the courses.
DATman Posted November 16, 2005 Posted November 16, 2005 I am so sad that I don't have DS Â Â Â Â 600th POST! WOOHOO!
Kenny Posted November 16, 2005 Posted November 16, 2005 I would kick all of your asses at Mario Kart! Now, if I only had a DS. :shock: Â If I had an extra $150 I would make that happen.
SuperGreek1562 Posted November 16, 2005 Posted November 16, 2005 I have a DS but my cousin stole it when i got my PSP. Haven't played it in a while... i might go steal it back and buy this game. And what exactly is Wifi? Is it on there already or do you have to get it?
Kenny Posted November 16, 2005 Posted November 16, 2005 I have a DS but my cousin stole it when i got my PSP. Haven't played it in a while... i might go steal it back and buy this game. And what exactly is Wifi? Is it on there already or do you have to get it? Â Well you have to use a wireless router, a hotspot or a Nintendo USB dongle dealie. Your DS has everything in it that it needs to utilize one of the above mentioned methods of online gaming.
SuperGreek1562 Posted November 16, 2005 Posted November 16, 2005 Oh ok! I have a wireless router... how do I hook it up to that?
Kenny Posted November 16, 2005 Posted November 16, 2005 www.nintendowifi.com has all your answers. Check there to see if your router is compatible. It is very simple. I am a networking re-re and I got online in minutes. Also, the game only accepts WEP keys, not the passphrase. That was my only problem. XD
Erik Johnson Posted November 16, 2005 Author Posted November 16, 2005 Hooray! The Nintendo network was working really great this morning. I got to race with both Japanese and American racers. It ran very well I might add. Â My friend code is: 313592 088670 Â TPR Erik
