 Mario Kart DS Farewell Tour 2014
Guys, next Tuesday, May 20th, Mario Kart DS (and all other Wii and DS games) will have it's online functions turned off forever (making the elusive Pink Gold Giggle Kart impossible to obtain).
Therefore, we need to play this thing again, for old times sake. So let's work out a time we can make this thing happen.

 Re: Mario Kart DS Farewell Tour 2014
Sign me up! Will it work on a 3ds, or do I need to dust off my DS Lite?
I'm free saturday afternoon/evening most likely. We should all do a google hangout, get drunk and play Mario Kart.

 Re: Mario Kart DS Farewell Tour 2014
It'll work on 3DS just fine. If you've transferred Wi-Fi settings from a previous DS, your friend code should be the same, even.
Saturday should work for me. Sunday would work better, but I'm easy.

 Re: Mario Kart DS Farewell Tour 2014
Is this a thing that's going to happen?

If it is, we're very quickly running out of time.

 Re: Mario Kart DS Farewell Tour 2014
Since we're almost out of time, I'm just going to start searching and see if anybody else shows up. (Apologies to hobo, who's probably asleep by now.)

 Re: Mario Kart DS Farewell Tour 2014
Ah well, we tried.
By the way, that enables matchmaking and DLC features. You'll need to patch the games to look for the new server (which means you'll need a DS flashcart or modded Wii) but hey, still cool that this is up and running so quickly.

 Re: Mario Kart DS Farewell Tour 2014
I ended up playing a couple of matches with Duck, at least. :> That counts for something, right?
(After being reminded of how annoying it was to set up a match and deal with game-specific friend codes, I'm actually not going to miss the WFC much.)

 Re: Mario Kart DS Farewell Tour 2014
As per usual, Pong won all the races. I figure it's more nostalgic that way.
However, out of the ashes of Mario Kart DS (and I guess Mario Kart Wii) comes Mario Kart 8....I'm downloading it now...please come play it with me.....please....
