So, are you a DS WiFi gamer? I used to be, until I saw a number of cheaters in Mario Kart, but now I only play games online on my PC and 360 :)

I assume there was a large DS pokemon gathering everyday and it scared away their actual customers.

I could care less, the online was fun for about 1 day for me. Wifi connection directly with other people is the funnest multiplayer experience I've ever had playing games though.

Could this be the end of Nintendo? Will they finally become 3rd party developers like fanboys told me?

Nah...:P

They had to offer wifi because their burgers are so skinny and their frys so small, you needed something to do while you ate or you would be done in a minute. Hardee's, Burger King, Taco Beel, and even Wendy's FTW. Arbys is just too damn expensive.

Same here. Any serious gamer would have one, so it's not a big deal.

That's what I want to know. The few times I've actually been in a Mickey D's I've never seen anyone playing DS's.

Sheep, stop dismissing this as no big deal. It's McDonalds here. When a name that big isn't on your side, you know it's gonna go downhill from here. What's next, the Wendy's right across the street? Maybe then you'll take notice, and realize that it is a big deal to be able to play on Wi-Fi inside a fast food joint.

Nintendo, you somehow screwed up big-time here. I don't want to support a company that isn't supported itself by the biggest name in the fast-food industry. What happened to the good old days when you partnered with BK with those Pokemon toys that were choking hazards? You've lost it, Nintendo.

...

....

Well, that was fun.

...It's McDonalds that's losing the deal here. The contract ended and Ninty didn't want to renew it; McDonalds didn't forcibly end their prior contract or anything :P And as you can see in this thread, no gamers ever even used the McDonalds oppurtunity, giving Ninty good reason to not pay extra money for such a thing.

Who DOESN'T play online on DS?

But not many go to McDonalds to do it. In fact, nobody does.

First off, I have wifi at home, school, and work. I don't really need it at Micky Ds. Second, online gaming blows in comparison to local multiplayer.

I guess the matter of them being everywhere in the US and even more common in China didn't clue you in, but yes, many people do.

Not me. >.>

Thankfully, I'm not much of a multiplayer person so it doesn't matter much to me.
