Mario Kart DS

1up.com has a nice story with pictures on the USB adaptor, its set up menus, ect. Only thing that is irritating is that initially you have to order it from NOA's site. There is still no Mac compatibility with the adaptor itself but Parish said the DS and game's wifi seeker synch up with an airport perfectly fine with no issue at all:

In DD I would just hang on to the bananna (Or the green shell, fake block, or any other item you could throw behind you) and as soon as I heard or saw something coming up from the rear I'd drop it behind me. Most the time you are going to deflect whatever is about to hit you. This was pretty much the same way I'd deal with crap about to hit me in Super Mario Kart too.

As for if Battle Mode is going to be online, I think it is. Both IGN and 1up seem to be saying it is now, from what I see. I hope it's true. ^_^

Yessss.

And thanks for the tip, been many months since I played either MK 64 or DD.

R.O.B. playable, so very cool.

Between this and Sonic Rush, the DS will be going through many a recharge for the forseeable future.

Here is the new Nintendo wifi connection commercial, it is one of the best ads I have seen from them in a loooong time and as a bonus, it features funny ninjas about to go totally sweet on each other:

Everybody loves ninjas. And monkeys.

You should try money. According to the voice in Homer's brain, "money can be used to buy goods and services."

What excatly is on the website? I've been trying to get past the coming soon splash screen for the last week with no luck.

All I could get to was that region selection page. Past that, it just errored out.

Update: The site is now live. Damnit, it sucks SO MUCH that I can go there and see that people are online playing, but I can't even get a copy of the game yet. *sob*

STOP TEMPTING ME!!!

Yep, Craig from IGN is playing it right now as we speak, lucky punk. He says in tonights mailbag that the online plays smooth and the game overall is excellent. He also said that unfortunately it is really hard to keep friends contacts with the game. If you play against someone who you want a rematch with you can't go by their ID, he says you have to have their specific ID code itself beforehand but there is no way to obtain their ID code itself within the game's menus. Kinda lame.

Sounds like a winner.

I understand why they're doing this - they only want you to be reachable by friends that you directly give your code to. I can appreciate what they're trying to do, but at the same time, it creates lame situations like the above.
