I just got a Nintendo DS Lite for Christmas. I don't think I want a WiFi, but how are they?

Question

Are they worth getting?
Fun?
Easy to use?
Can you use them for most games?

I'm new at this.
Thanks for your experience!

Answer 1

WiFi offers different experiences for different games.

in animal crossing, you can visit other people's towns, play tag, etc...

in metroid i think you can play against each other or something

in final fantasy III you can only send predetermined mails (but it's crucial to unlock a certain class..)

in pokemon pearl/diamond you will be able to trade, fight, etc... against other people around the world - i already see potential for abuse in that
-------
games that have wifi features have a blue circle on the outer binding, where the title goes - usually the back of a game will tell you what the wifi features actually are for
-------
it's probably easy to set up. i can't set mine on my computer, nintendo sends me nasty emails whenever i try, i don't know what their problem is. it comes with a CD Rom and there's a website you could go to as well.
-------
other games have different ways to interact with other people. for example, pokemon rescue - if i died in a dungeon, i can shoot you an email, you can save me, give me a password, and then i'll be saved - no wireless needed there... just 2-3 [54 digit] long passwords...

Answer 2

well, wi-fi is like the internet..

with the internet ya need a computer that is set up to log onto the internet and it's the same way with wi-fi..

in my opinion, it's worth getting yourself set up to use wi-fi.. in order to find the games that are wi-fi capable, look for a blue spot on the game box that has the word "WI-FI"on it and that will tell ya which ones are wi-fi capable..

yes wi-fi is fun and easy to use once ya get connected to it. just go to www.nintendowifi.com for intructions on how to set your ds up for wi-fi..
