I'm really excited about this...I won't be able to partake in any DS gaming (WPA wifi) but of course I can do everything else. I'm trying to find a way around the WPA security in time for next month.

I'm super excited!

But, I know you said no. But, why can't we do iOS gaming as well?

Only NDS/Wii/Retro gaming. Maybe because its Nintendo Weekend!

[shakirmoledina]

wonderful (in a bad way)... just when i was getting used to wifi, my DS had to break
good idea though esp since getting players for CoD mobilized was kinda difficult, atleast here we will see players coming to play

Sadly, I won't be there. I'd have to stay up till 1 AM, and my parents would kill me if I did!

Monster Hunter Tri! I've been looking for people to play it. I'm in Europe servers. And why not also some Tatsunoko vs Capcom and Mario Kart.

 

[KingAsix]

Yeah...I tried to pick some games people would enjoy playing together...I kinda pick Monster Hunter cause I'd like to play with others if I get the chance.
