Who has it?

Pretty fun so far, except the fact I always get caught on corners in netplay

My friend code is 446736050138.

I'm leaving work in a few minutes and I'll be picking it up on the way home.

Is there any form of ingame communication for the online play?

Sadly, No

The setup, is laughably easy though. There are modes of searching to get games started, but basically they're all worthless except Worldwide and Friends. I had my DS searching for 15 minutes on Regional, and could never get 3 other people in my queue

How's the actual game itself? Is it a lot like GBA Mario Kart?

Sweet, added you too Naj. I just unlocked Dry Bone

Now all they need is Chocobo Racing DS, and I'll be set.

(I'll be getting this soon enough. Somehow I think I'll like it better on DS than console. Dunno why.)

Best. Mario Kart. Ever.

I just unlocked Dry Bones too, going to go online and see how I do.

Want to play?

Unfortunantly, you need 4 people to start a game.

Though, do a search on friends to see if you can play with less that way.

Bleh, too bad.

I'll try worldwide then.

edit: I'm trying friends right now, I see the top slot highlighted and I'm assuming it's you.

Going to let it sit a bit to see if it'll just go with 2 players.

Naj, you don't need to disconnect after every game. If you press A at the scoreboard, you can continue to a new set of races.

I would get this game and play it with you guys except for a few problems.

  • I don't like racing, even though Mario Kart is usually an exception.
  • I don't have a wireless router.
  • I don't have broadband to use a wireless router with.
  • I don't have a job to afford any of the above.

I was in the Virgin Islands once. I met a girl, we ate lobster, drank piña coladas. At sunset, we made love like sea otters. That was a pretty good day. Why couldn't I get that day over, and over?

You don't need a wireless router (you can get a USB attachment that broadcasts a DS-enabled signal), but you do need broadband.

On the flipside you could play in like, McDonalds, or Barnes and Noble.

A Kansas City Shuffle is when everybody looks right, you go left.

It's not something people hear about.

I didn't know about the attachment, I'll keep that in mind if I ever freaking move back into the city. I did know about hotspots like McDonald's. I still can't afford the game.

I think I may actually put a DS on my list of big purchases.

Still got a new monitor and a firearm ahead of it, though.

Whosatothewhats? Are you talking about Drafting? Tailgate someone, and you'll start speeding up. After a while, you'll get a omgspeedboost for about 5 seconds.

No, I mean in Balloon thing in Battle mode. I wish there was online Battle mode. That's what I love about Mario Kart D:

P.S. I can't believe I actually won a round. I suck so bad. I CAN'T DRIFT THE BITCH

I traded in some stuff to get Dragon Quest VIII and had some money left over, so I got Mario Kart DS.

My friend code is 313592-153577. I can only play at the various hotspots in the area, or at my friend's house who has the wireless connection, but you may still see me around.

People on the IGN boards with Mario Kart and Tony Hawk are saying that the friends lists are shared between games.

And I unlocked R.O.B on my planetrip today, now I can just stick to multiplayer.
