Is this supposed to play more like the SNES version or the newer versions? I love the SNES version, but the N64 and GC versions have pretty much sucked, IMHO.

Sorry, just had a mental thought of a bunch of video game geeks taking over a coffee shop to duke it out in Mario Kart.

I really dont have the extra 35 dollars right now. Sorry to sound cheap but Im on a budget.
I don't see why you'd get caught all of a sudden. Why does you friend think that? Does he think that there is a built in DS Wifi Detector in that router or something?
IMHO, All that the router would ever see is a new MAC address, and it wouldn't care if it's from a DS or a laptop. So it's doubtful you'd be caught for using you DS on the "borrowed" signal. It's more likely that you'd be caught for using your laptop to browse the web and hogging bandwidth.

Fry's still does not have them in yet, 12pm today. I am going to call and see if they have any in yet.
*Update, just got off of the phone, they have them in (Tempe, AZ), I plan on playing this tonight, although I wont be able to share until tomorrow. I wont be getting High Speed at home again until this weekend.

I'll be picking it up tomorrow with a stack of McDonalds Best Buy Bucks. It looks really good, so I hope I like it. I enjoy MK: DD a lot, and I know that's not exactly everyone's favorite Mario Kart.

Still can't get the wi-fi up and did everything their site told me to do. I hate not being good w/ computers. Guess I'll just have to get one of my friends to help me this week or play at McDonalds

Just played my first ever online match. I connected pretty easily and used the worldwide option. My friends haven't given me their codes yet so I originally tried the regional setting but no luck. Worldwide hooked me up with 3 other players pretty quick and one dude even had his decal already designed. I still need to register with the WiFi website for stat tracking but right now I so stoked...gotta go play.

Hmm, had no problems entering my WEP Key (thank god for the touch screen keyboard) or my DS's MAC address in my router settings and was able to connect. Unfortunately the nintendowifi.com site is having some problems, so I can't log in to link me and my DS to their system 
Hmm, apparently I do have a friend code after signing in for the first time, even though I wasn't able to connect to any matches.

It's down at the moment, have only been able to race once. Nintendo's WiFi site says there are intermittent problems. Can't even login to register the game.

Anybody else have a friend code yet? I've only been able to connect to one person, and it was somebody across town on my friends list.
I finally was able to log in and link DS to my Nintendo.com profile, but that has nothing to do with the friends list or playing online.
