That's right boys and girls, DS Fanboy is introducing a weekly community event called Game Night. We're looking to get our Wi-Fi fix on and who better to play with then our readers? Nobody, that's who! Every Tuesday night at 8PM EST, starting next week because we need a week to prepare everything, we're going to play a Wi-Fi Connect compatible game with the readers. For the first couple of nights, we'll play for only an hour and, if the demand is there, we can play longer. Every week we'll run a poll to see what game you all want to play, but seeing as how next Tuesday will be the first Game Night, we thought we'd celebrate the debut with the first Wi-Fi Connect compatible game that debuted in Mario Kart DS.
Next Tuesday we'll put up our friend codes and provide a link to the chat where we'll be hanging out, talking Nintendo and tossing shells. Thanks for reading and we hope to see you there!

It's going to be big fun. Wishnov has promised to smite everyone, so we're gonna need to band together and school him repeatedly.

This a fantastic idea and I really look forward to joining you guys. My Wi-Fi games are Mario Kart, Metroid Prime Hunters, Animal Crossing, and Clubhouse Games. Take care!

This is a great idea (though perhaps not so much after I get stomped). There are times when it seems like it takes forever to match a game of Metroid or Tetris; it'll be nice to have the forewarning that there will be a large group of gamers playing a particular game at a set time. I've got the same games as #5 (Travis), but add Tetris.

Awesome! I'm in. Sounds like it could have potential. My wifi games are Mario Kart, Metroid, and Animal Crossing. Hey, can we do an AC session to find the lost kittens? I've yet to do that, and I'd hoped to get most of the item available. Pleease? I suck at Metroid, I never last that much, unless its against people my rank (one star), and in Mario Kart, my score is 456 wins to 251 losses (WFC) and two stars. I'll have to brush up since I haven't played in a while.

Neat idea. Too bad I don't have any WiFi-enabled games except for Animal Crossing, or I would TOTALLY lose to all of you. I'm not sure if you can even lose in Animal Crossing.

What took you so long? :-)
Hope finding one another for Kart racing isn't too difficult.
For Animal Crossing: WW, you can have an open gate night. Item swaps and "catalog hacking" are both possibilities (letting visitors pick up items so they appear in their town's catalog). I missed the Mario furniture series so looking to find peeps with extras.

Why not something now? Go into #dsfanboy on irc.freenode.net, and we can set stuff up. I've got MarioKart, Tetris, Clubhouse Games, Metroid Prime, and Downhill Jam.
I've also got Animal Crossing, but I haven't played in a loooooong time.

EST = electro shock therapy.
Other than the pain and trauma associated with shock therapy, I'm in for some Mario action.

Awesome idea! I might be down for this, even if I DO suck at MK:DS.

Dammit, being in Western Australia puts this at 8am for me... Hmm, then again it's summer so it's hard to sleep past then because of the heat...
Might pop on for a few games - I've got all the games mentioned above... I suck at MPH though :P
It will be good to have a friend-code based regular games... although a way to contact each other out of game would be good - a way to swap IM details or whatever.

For those who do not have Wi-Fi enabled games or who are unable to game with us for any other reason, that doesn't mean you can't hang out with us in the chat! :)
Thanks for reading!
Dave
