Gaming Mario Kart 7 Online Friends Not Working 3DS

[JonMegaTron]

Hi,

I have 3 new 3ds xls and online multiplayer on mk7 isn't working on any of them.

Even when I try to play EUR Mk7 on two of them along with the consoles being EUR themselves, online doesn't work.

To play online, I launch 1 of the consoles into worldwide whilst the other stays in the friends screen, waiting for the grey join button to allow the consoles play together. Though the button stays grey forever, not allowing one console to play with the other. This happens even when the online party isn't full.

Has anyone else encountered this issue, and if so how did you fix it?

Any other suggestions?

Thanks in advance

I fixed it - if anyone else has this problem, the issue was that allowing friends to see if I was online and what game I was playing in the friends app was disabled without me even being aware. Once enabled, online multiplayer worked.
