Nintendo DS Guides: Can the Nintendo DS Play Games Online?

Beginning in the Winter of 2005, Nintendo DS owners around the world started to play some of their favorite franchises via Wi-Fi.

Mario Kart DS, Animal Crossing DS and a new Tony Hawk title from Activision were among the first using the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, a groundbreaking portable, wireless gaming network.

About the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection:

Using IGN’s GameSpy Technology, DS players can connect wirelessly at many Wi-Fi Hotpsots to find their friends and begin racing, battling or chatting as easily as if they were sitting in the same room. Depending on the game being played, the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection can also let players post high scores or other game statistics and data.
