Nintendo WFC
Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection was mindblowing at the time. The ability to play games with other people across the country on a handheld console was relatively novel at the time of the North American launch in 2006. Of course these days, everyone can visit the best online casino usa right from the comfort of their homes.
Every multiplayer game could be play online with the exception of Old Maid, Spit, I Doubt It, and Pig. It wasn’t always easy to find someone via the in game matchmaking, but if you swapped friend-codes with friends, the fun was almost endless.
Download Play
Download Play is a feature is often overlooked, but is a great addition to any multiplayer game. Not many games support this feature on 3DS sadly, but back in the DS days, this was common practice.
Clubhouse Games allowed you to play supported multiplayer game-types across DS consoles with only one game cartridge! Road-trips and bus rides would never be the same, and Clubhouse Games even supported an in-game PictoChat-like feature!
