DS Meet Hopes to Match Nintendo DS Gamers

A reader write:"Only a few weeks since the release of Mario Kart DS, Nintendo's first entry into online wi-fi gaming, a new service called DS Meet has launched. The website allows you to do several things that aren't possible from within Nintendo's own Wi-Fi Connect website, such as searching for online users based on their DS user names. While the site is still in development, it hopes to give Nintendo DS players many more options that are not available elsewhere."

Great

Now I can track down those cheating sods who disconnect whenever I overtake them in Mario Kart!

Those are actually the CPU-controlled players...

whats the big deal?

[cycledance]

there are many sites out there that do the same. its just a database with name, friend code, email. one should also consider that sharing friend codes and playing only with friends thins out the userbase of the global matchmaker system.

Google Base it!

I just wish

I could use my global username ("Kazzahdrane") on my DS. It's 11 letters long and, you guessed it, the DS has a name limit of 10 letters :( This would actually help people find me on the wireless service since everyone knows I use that name.

Perhaps... Kazahdrane ;-) Is that second Z really that important to ya? haha

Find players near by using Frapper

[Leknor]

If you use http://www.frappr.com/dsfriendcode [frappr.com] you can find people physically near you which is more interesting IMO.

Just use WiTendoFi.com

[GweeDo]

WiTendoFi.com [witendofi.com] is the way to go. Get your own WiFi Tag like in my site.

Looks cool!

[Premo_Maggot]

I signed up.

Supported Central Service

What about the DS Flash carts that are coming out? Will this have security abilities?

Has anyone tried using the MK2 or MK3 for homebrew? Any luck with the browser?

Cool!

Now I only need a Nintendo DS and Mario Kart DS.
Too bad I'm poor and I live in a developing country, so I won't be able to get those until next year... :(
