Calling Wii and DS owners. Please to be my Nintendo pal thank you?→[More:]

I know there's already something similar on the Unofficial MeFi Wiki, and there've been a few MetaTalk threads, but they're always a bit abortive. So here's a special one for bunnies.

Yay! You got yours today as well! I've no idea where my number thingy is and I've also not got mine connected up to teh tubez yet. I am, however, somewhat out of breath after playing Wii boxing for the last hour. All will be defeated by me in boxing!

Unfortunately, no online play yet, so I'll just have to take your word for it. (Unless... MeCha Games Night Meetup...)

Once you're online, your number's in Message Board > Create Message > Address Book.

Now there's an idea. That would be pretty cool.

I'll have to nip into Maplin or somewhere on Wednesday and get more cables to connect the thing up (stupid all-day, including working lunch, meeting in London tomorrow).

Oh hang on, it does wireless. *spot the person who doesn't read manuals until he has to*

Once I have a wireless-enabled game for my DS, I'll take you all on.

But for some reason, I've yet to do so. Maybe Mario Kart?

Mario Kart is the quintessential DS wireless game, yes.

Mine hopefully arrives on wednesday.

I'm still trying to get hold of a Wii but I do have a DS - never played it online, though. Will have to dig out the codes.

Also a Mecha games meetup would be fantastic.

Chris - where did you find your Wii? I have spent successive Saturdays and early weekday mornings trawling central London with no luck.

TheDonF alerted me that Amazon UK had them in stock, which he found out from WiiSearcher.

Report: Rayman is tiring, but fun.

I hardly ever play my DS online, but I'd probably pop in for a DS Mecha meetup. Besides Mario Kart DS, Clubhouse Games and Tetris DS are also excellent in multiplayer. Ooh, and Animal Crossing, and Bomberman Land, and... well, I could go on like this.
