Although the Nintendo Wifi service seems to have been a success so far, the question here is, do you like the service? Do you think Nintendo has taken the right attitude to online gaming, and that the service is acceptable already, do you think you could improve it or do you think that the service is awful and they should use an approach like the Xbox or Playstation game online services?

I love playing wifi but the only thing I don`t like is that you need a signal to do it. Right now I can`t play wifi because of that.

I agree with Luis. That's the same reason I cannot get on to the service yet. No router or the like!

I cannot go online simply because I did not have a router when I played Mario Kart DS much, and Metroid Prime Hunters I am not too brilliant at. And because I don't really understand how to configure the router settings.

I haven`t played wifi in a long time. They should have made a powerful signal that can go to every DS. (Or the PSP for faster loading on internet)

I guess they should have. Nintendo free internet would rule!

The first time I played wifi was at July in 2006. When I first got Mario Kart DS, I was trying to go online with it and I was wondering why is not working. I didn`t know it needs an access point until I found out in July.

Not sure what to say about this, other than asking if you read the manuals. Or tried the wifi settings options.

Luis

They will have to change the way of connecting to wifi. There still people out there that is eager to go online.

cheat-master30
3rd February 2007, 08:33 PM
Yeah. Not sure how though, but when internet access is free, all the problems will be over, and way easier online gaming for all. Personally I think they should also scrap friend codes.

Luis

It will also be the end of lagging with a strong signal.

3rd February 2007, 11:41 PM
Very true there. I hate lag.

I agree with everything you two have said!

Why use a happy smilie when you can use a Jr smilie? BJr}

Ha ha about the Bowser Jr smily!

why use a normal smily when you can use a Crescent Moon Village one!

Luis
4th February 2007, 04:50 PM
That`s because most forums are clones and they have the same smilies.

cheat-master30
4th February 2007, 04:53 PM
Agreed. But this place is not, and has all Nintendo based images, smilies, BB code, profiles and everything else!

Very True about that last statement Luis.

Can you believe that I need wifi to post? I use this little weak signal to go online. I hope Nintendo will do something about this access point thing.

cheat-master30
5th February 2007, 07:18 PM
I hope so, as I need more active posters! Joking, but yeah, I hope they make a world wide kind of wifi connection.

NintenDan
6th February 2007, 09:07 AM
One day, one day, it will eventually happen...

cheat-master30
6th February 2007, 12:26 PM
Yeah, but by then, there will most likely be no use for it, as virtual reality videogames would have become the norm!

Luis

It will become the what? What`s norm?

Norm means the normal thing.

Luis
6th February 2007, 11:48 PM
I want the world wide connection so I can play wifi again and make it easier for me to explore the internet.

NintenDan
7th February 2007, 09:06 AM
Wow. Virtual Reality would be interesting. You run to make Mario run, punch to make Mario punch, basically BE Mario!

cheat-master30
7th February 2007, 04:06 PM
Yeah, as long as you don't get hurt like Mario does when an enemy attacks!

Or catch on fire...Or drown...or die...!

Hopefully I can connect to Wi-Fi at my friend's place, as he has it! If I can't, I have a massive case of Bad Luck!

cheat-master30
8th February 2007, 09:05 AM
Yeah, good luck with that. If you fail... well, that's bad luck.

Not everyone has a computer. Why the broadband requires a computer? Why all the wifi have to come from a broadband and a computer.

cheat-master30
8th February 2007, 06:27 PM
If wifi is worldwide, everyone should be able to use it anyway. If it is not so easily accessable, it would be fairer for those only with Broadband to use it, as 56K causes terrible lag.

Luis
8th February 2007, 06:38 PM
You have a broadband? I never had one. I think someone in my building had one because I was wondering why my wifi was working perfectly last summer.

cheat-master30
8th February 2007, 06:46 PM
Of course I have a Broadband connection. Would not be feasible to work on this site or go on here for long without one.

NintenDan
9th February 2007, 08:15 AM
Yes, you wouldn't be able to work here without broadband!

cheat-master30
9th February 2007, 11:06 AM
True. Well I might, but it would take way long to add anything.

NintenDan
11th February 2007, 03:50 AM
Seeing as I only post, I don't need broadband that much. For this site. I can't watch videos becuase of the connection.

cheat-master30
11th February 2007, 12:40 PM
You mean you cannot watch these:

NintenDan
14th February 2007, 09:48 AM
Yes, I can't watch them without lag or something

cheat-master30
15th February 2007, 12:23 PM
Oh, that must suck badly.

NintenDan
16th February 2007, 09:57 AM
I don't have any sound either because I don't have a sound card... But I should be getting one soon...

cheat-master30
18th February 2007, 12:46 PM
I don't have any sound because it's always muted.

NintenDan
20th February 2007, 07:46 AM
Okay then. I can watch videos, just it's pretty pointless if there's no sound, and people are talking.

NintenDan
20th February 2007, 07:47 AM
I just realised that I said I can't watch videos. Well, it depends on the size of the video... Some I can watch, some I can't...

cheat-master30
20th February 2007, 12:51 PM
How about a 25MB video download?

NintenDan
21st February 2007, 09:49 AM
Probably... with maybe a bit of lag...

cheat-master30
21st February 2007, 05:17 PM
Okay, that's large, so your connection can't be too bad...

NintenDan
22nd February 2007, 08:05 AM
It depends, some days are faster than others... It depends how many other people are on, I think...
