Howdy, people. In my ever-present habit of spending my hard-earned paychecks badly, I have purchased a Nintendo DS(Dual-Screen) entertainment system. I was interested in the "wireless internet" features that this device had to offer, and I was intrigued. On the only wi-fi compatible game that I own, "Animal Crossing: Wild World", you can connect to people's towns all over the world using this connection!
There's only one problem: In AC, following Nintendo's interests in keeping children away from Net wierdos, I need to have someone's friend code in order to make the connection possible. I wondered if any of you have this game as well, so we could perhaps swap codes....
I know that this belongs in the gamer's forum, but I didn't think that you guys would bother checking for new posts down there!

They made another Animal Crossing game? Interesting, very interesting. How is it different from the first?

Well, the world is MUCH smaller.... You can explore the entire town without jumping from acre to acre.... And it's set on a sort of rolling wheel.... As in, when you travel forward, the back seems to roll into the distance. Other than the size, it very much keeps to the spirit of the original!
I now have "MarioKart DS" as well, which does not require friend codes, but I would be glad to find you guys in my AC town one of these days. By the way, who all on here has a DS?

I really should know this, but what's a Nintendo DS, how does it work, and where can I find one?

The Nintendo DS(Or "Dual-Screen") is the most recent in the line of Nintendo's hand held systems. Despite popular belief, it is not actually a Game Boy, even though it is able to play Game Boy Advance games. Rather, it is a seperate system all its own, and uses innovative technology to bring new depth to gameplay. The touch screen, now common in palm pilots and other such gadgets, is implemented as the DS' lower screen, and is often a key part of gameplay(Though not always, as with MarioKart). The upper screen is a regular one, but is still larger than all of the Game Boy screens to date. Even though the graphics cannot compete with Sony's PlayStation Portable, it is much less expensive, and just as fun. The Wi-Fi connection is a major plus, too, and is a free service.
You can find these systems for around $130.00 American, or a special $150.00 pack that includes MarioKart, in any department or electronics store.
And, yes, this is my original article.... I didn't take it from anybody!
