Mario Kart DS - finally!
We've been waiting a long time, but Mario Kart DS is finally out, with a matching Red DS to boot. I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say that if this game isn't the most popular non-pokemon hand-held game of all time it will be a disappointment - this is the game the DS was built for.
I've only played for a few minutes or so, but I already love it. They took the best features for the venerated Mario Kart franchise and combined them all into one game. A "best-of" lineup of courses from all past editions, the controls from the Nintendo 64 game, and the items from Double Dash. It took me a minute to remember "the hop," but after that it was off to the races.
The wifi takes all of 3 seconds to set up - I spent more time looking up my WEP key than I did with the rest of the process combined. I haven't logged on to explore the social aspects of NintendoWifi.com yet, but it looks to be fully web 2.0-buzz compliant - with friends, "rivals," private groups and even a usage chart!
My friend code is: 382311513661. Within the game you can "register" me as a friend so we can play together, although the game can also find strangers for you to play with very easily. I'll still be on the N train, but now I can play with my friends across the country too.
I predict the return of Nintendo Sundays. Hooray!

I came across your post on friend codes through my RSS feed, so I thought I would drop off my own since I follow your blog. I'm located in Ft. Worth, TX...

What exactly is "the hop"? I feel like I'm being left out of some uber secret.
Posted by: Gus Mueller | November 16, 2005 at 10:46 PM
Wait- nevermind about the hop. It's the hop and hold to do the turns without reducing speed I'm guessing...
Posted by: Gus Mueller | November 17, 2005 at 12:44 AM
Hi Gus, that's the hop!

Hey- I busted out a quick and dirty little Ning-based app at http://kartmatch.ning.com/ to help share/track Mario Kart Friend Codes. Hopefully it'll help out a bit.

I had some weird DHCP problem, trying it at my friend's house: WEP was no problem, but I got error 52000 when the router said the DS got an IP, but the DS refused to believe it. After an hour of head-scratching I put in the IP the router said manually (and the gateway IP and DNS from running Command Prompt and typing "ipconfig") and it worked. I assume I would have to do it again after the DHCP lease expired, though.
It was a three-second process on the office network, but that's probably worse, not better.

What are Nintendo Sundays?
Posted by: Jed | December 09, 2005 at 10:18 AM
Nintendo Sundays are exactly what they sound like. They predate Mobile Mondays by over a year, and they're much more fun!
