I don’t know about you, but I have a hard time hooking up with local gamers, especially those with a passion for Nintendo. I know they’re out there, but if they’re anything like me, they’ll be busy with work, family, school, and the like. Enter Nintendo’s wifi connection, and the world suddenly gets a lot smaller.
I really enjoyed hooking up with some of you last Wed for our Metroid meet up. I’ve never chatted with more intelligent gamers prior, given the game’s ability to talk before and after matches. In short, the NWC, in addition to Infendo and similar sites, are making me a less isolated gamer, and that makes for a much happier Nintendo nerd like myself. Good times, indeed!

pshhh… get a life…j/k i feel you… it makes people feel a little less alone when they find those common grounds…
I like WFC, too, but I still would like to find other people around to play with. There are a number of games that are great to play multiplayer that aren't Wi-Fi compatible, particularly Meteos and Advance Wars.
AMEN to that, Blake!And yes, it would be awesome to play Meteos on Wi-Fi… Advance Wars, not all modes: playing a turn-based game over online connections can be a problem, unless the game had a time limit per turn.I only played two or three games late Wednesday night with the Infendo gamers, but had a GREAT time with it. Voice transmission over Wi-Fi rocks!
Heh–yeah, it was really cool to talk to folks from Infendo. Wish I could say I did better–Rollin has a pretty intimidating License, and he lives up to it–but it was still really cool to talk to yous guys.And hecks yes, the VoIP rocks!! It was so cool–I was surprised at how well it worked, actually. It was nearly flawless.Yeah, Blake, it's rather hard to find people around here (Atl) who are actually into gaming–let alone the DS and all its amazingness. Glad to know there's somebody out there who cares.
Gonna do that again? I just got metroid hunters and I'm a reader via Kotaku/Nintendogal… I'd love to get together, I never find anyone on my rivals/friends list thats actually on.
Next week, definitely. I can also do tomorrow if anyone's up for it. Shall i make it formal (i.e. a post)?
Not to quote a certain PSP ad, but–hells yeah! It was fun the other night.
