Gaming [Multiplayer Essentials] Nintendo DS

[Katalyst]

OP should add a note next to each game specifying whether it has WFC or just download play.

I liked metroid alot. Mostly because I like to shoot things. But I havent really played it that much because of school, sports and Xbox360

 

[iamwhoiam]

Metroid is fun, but is ruined by hacked .sav files

So my vote is:

Mario Kart
Tetris
Advance Wars
Elite Beat Agents =] ... man that game is genius

 

[MaHe]

Seriously, where the hell is Bomberman (the first one)?!
Supports tons of different gameplay modes with a single copy of the game, with up to 8 players.

It's the best multiplayer DS game in my opinion. But I also liked 42 All-Time Classics (30 different games, a single copy of the game needed),
played hours of New Super Mario Brothers' mini-games with my brother and sister (it's fuuun!). Mario Kart DS isn't all that bad either, but I prefer multi-card play (more tracks, yay!). I'd happily put Tetris DS on my favourites list, but nobody I know of either a) hates Tetris or b) sucks at Tetris ... Thank god for Nintendo WFC.

Now put Bomberman on the essentials list (Bomberman Land Touch! kinda sucks, because it features less game-modes than the first one; but it does have WFC support). Now!

Tetris wont work on my M3 Simply - Mario Kart is pretty fun online even though I suck at it.

EDIT

Just tried Tetris again and it connected - honestly though I don't like this version. Tetris should have the original music for it to be enjoyable.

Why isn't Bleach getting any love?

And Bleach 2nd in about a week or two

I honestly think it's the best portable fighter I have ever played... Just get rid of the of broken card system and we'll have a game of skill

Clubhouse Games and 42 All-Time Classics are the same game, just two different names for European release vs. USA release. How could they get placed in two different positions?

Please submit more!

Mario Kart DS
Bomberman
Diddy Kong Racing
New Super Mario Bros
Yoshi Touch & Go

And certainly not Advanced Wars, it's download play multiplayer was just to damn lame.

 

[Satangel]

MK DS
Bomberman
Tetris DS
Metroid Prime Hunters

 

[Nightstalker]

Diddy Kong Racing (WFC) should be an Essential.

 

[m_babble]

Bomberman
Clubhouse Games
Mario Kart DS
Tetris DS

 

[Satangel]

Diddy Kong Racing too

Can't say enough for Tetris DS... but be warned... if you ever play FuMan... know good and well I'm probably sitting in the crapper while I play you

I've been itchin for a game of Nanostray and Worms over download play on the m3, does it work for any of you? =(
I know that Worms on DS is nowhere near as good as the originals, but I don't own any of them anymore.

Le list (pretty much whats already been posted)

Advance Wars (not on download play)
Mario Kart
New Super Mario
Club Games whatever
Bubble Bobble Double thinger
Lego Star Wars (is average)
Big Brain Academy
Metriod Prime
Castlevania Portrait of Ruin
Bomberman
Teenage Ninja Turtles =P

Not so keen on Diddy Kong =S, the single player is immense though, same with Sonic Rush. They should of made Full Metal Alchemist multiplayer tbh.

I'm going to nominate Children of Mana because it's one of the few co-op games for the DS. Hitting each other all the time is annoying, though!
