DS WiFi ?

Anyone trying this?  Any recommendations?  I understand if you have to pick up the USB wifi adapter for your computer, then the DS can talk on the internet(s).  Any good WiFi enabled games? 

Thx and cheers

You don't really need the USB dongle. Last time I checked it was around 30 bucks, and you can get a full-fledged wireless router for that price. If you do want the USB connector, you better act fast; Nintendo has already discontinued production.

As for games, I recommend Picross DS. Not only do you get to download new puzzles, but there's also an insanely addictive versus mode. I've only tried it out a few times using public wireless, but I'll definitely be buying a wireless router soon just so I can play from home.

Wikipedia has a list of other games with Wi-Fi: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ni … tion_games

Keep in mind that not all of those games have competitive play online.

Mario Kart DS is a lot of fun online and Tetris DS and Planet Puzzle League are also great for online play if you're good at them.  Also fun is the WiFi battle mode in Phantom Hourglass.
