Topic: Nintendo Wi-Fi Grand Finale

[Stratos]

OK. We are going to lose a lot of potential gaming opportunities with the impending disconect. I thought a gathering place could be useful.

We can arrange any last minute wifi games or discuss dlc or other aspects of games that can be lost in a few months.

Anyone for Mario Kart or COD?

We should try and do something everyday for the last month of it. Send it out with a bang.

I never got to play much of The Last Story multiplayer. Would definitely pick it up if we got a few games going.

[Stratos]

Aww, I forgot about Last Story. I'll have to crack that game open ASAP.


I loved Phantom Hourglass' multiplayer back in the day.

Everyone wants to play Wii online multiplayer...why start now?

[Dasmos]

I'd be down for some Mario Kart Wii if you guys ever get that going. It's really the only game I played online extensively.

I actually used the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection on the Wii and DS quite a lot. Some of my favourite memories include Tetris DS' item battle multiplayer (insanely fun) and Goldeneye 007's multiplayer on the Wii (in which I put in close to 100 hours). I loved Goldeneye's simplified version of COD's multiplayer. I also enjoyed the unique character names I would see online, like "Cereal Bowl" and "Sex Panther".


One of the big things on my "To Do" list before the service shuts down is to unlock the daily puzzles in Professor Layton and the Last Spectre. I would also like to download the various quests in DQ IX, but I imagine that I would have to play the game for a bit before being able to do that.

I keep forgetting that The Last Story had online multiplayer. It's buried deep in my backlog.

Since hearing this news, I've been trying to figure out if there are any games I should be getting to take full advantage of the end of the service.
One question I keep coming back to is Layton. I rented and somewhat enjoyed the first one when it was current and always thought about returning to the series at some point. I remember there being DLC puzzles and I'm wondering if I could download them all if I try to find the first four(?) games for decent prices then play all of them at a later time.

[MisterE13]

While I'm bumping this, I should probably also ask if the DLC puzzles are worth it and if you need to have beaten the games or anything to start downloading them.
