{{SoftwareInfobox | image = Nintendo wifi logo.jpg | developer = Nintendo | publisher = Nintendo | ww_rel = {{Release|2005|November|14|WW|Nintendo DS}} | type = Online Service | platforms = Nintendo DS }} '''''Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection''''' is [[Nintendo]]'s free, easy, wireless [[online]] service for the [[Nintendo DS]]. It was launched on [[November 14]], [[2005 in video gaming|2005]] for the release of ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''. Players can use their Nintendo DS unit at [[wi-fi]] hotspots to connect to the internet, or plug in their [[Nintendo DS USB Wi-Fi Adapter]] to their computers and play from there. It has been reported that as of the release of [[April]] [[2006 in video gaming|2006]], over 260,000 players connect through Nintendo Wi-Fi connection daily. The use of a unique [[WFC Friend Code]] for each game can be traded in order to connect with specific a person or persons. This [[friend code]] is typically 10+ digit number. While not an obstacle at first, as the number of Wi-Fi enabled DS games grows, it became a source of criticism from [[gamer]]s. Instead of one centralized handle/code that could be used in multiple games, such as in [[Xbox live]], players are forced to juggle multiple codes and trade them through other means, such as offline or through message boards. ==Wi-Fi Enabled Games== * ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' * ''[[Animal Crossing: Wild World]]'' * ''[[Tony Hawk's American Sk8land]]'' * ''[[Metroid Prime: Hunters]]'' * ''[[Tetris DS]]'' * ''[[Bleach]]'' * ''[[LostMagic]]'' * ''[[Tenchu: Dark Secret]]'' * ''[[Contact]]'' * ''[[Star Fox Command]]'' * ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis]]'' * ''[[Clubhouse Games]]'' * ''[[Open Season]]'' * ''[[Pokémon Diamond Version]]'' * ''[[Pokémon Pearl Version]]'' ==External Links== * [http://www.nintendowifi.com/global/index.jsp Nintendo Wi-Fi], Nintendo's friend code hub. * [http://www.friendcodes.com/ Friendcodes.com] * [http://www.revogaming.net/html/modules/news/article.php?storyid=434 Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection Stats (Revolution Gaming)]
