what games on DS do you only need one copy of to play with friends on wLAN

Graham M · 20-12-2005, 15:35

You'd need a copy for each console.

Not as far as I'm aware, correct me if I'm wrong.

Wireless Network
You can connect with a local wireless network of up to 16 players.The wireless range can be an incredible 30 to 100 feet and for some games, multiplayer requires just one Nintendo DS game card.

Future games may take advantage of the DS Wireless LAN connection for more multiplayer possibilities.

Note: Nintendo DS wireless communication, including PictoChat, is not private and is not monitored by Nintendo. We recommend that you never reveal any personal information or arrange to meet a stranger

You're wrong, you can play 2P Sonic Rush (for example) over wi-fi with only 1 copy of the game, (according to the manual).

Same with mario kart. Only need one game cart. And up to 16 people can play but with limited features

I stand corrected, fair enough

Good on Nintendo to have this feature in their games!

hm so then what would be the benefits in say me havin copy of mario kart as well as mate, what would we miss if we didnt each have a copy?

gooner4life · 20-12-2005, 20:15

With regard to what you would miss I can only speak for "gamesharing" on the PSP and basically what that does is share a limited game for you and a friend to play with only one UMD.

I think Nintendo's website would be a better place to check, but as stated above a massive clap to both Sony and Nintendo for allowing 2 player WIFI gaming from one UMD, although sadly not all developers are taking advantage of the feature on PSP at least.

The mate will have to be one character (shy guy) and you will have limited tracks (only around half) if you only had one cart
