http://www.joystiq.com/2008/03/05/nintendo-details-mario-kart-wii-channel-online-play/1#comments

Mine's 4768-7123-5184

Anyone else having trouble finding people to connect to in the public wifi games? I timeout 4/5 times, and the ones that I do get to play are extremely laggy. Haven't had any such problems with Strikers, even on day one.

looks like the add your comments button timed out.

Those aren't the only things...my 360's lifespan timed out yesterday as well. Thank goodness Smash Bros. came out today or I might actually have had to socialize with people in real life :P

heh...sounds like you have the same luck as me--with the x360 AND with connecting wifi on SSBB.

Chrysalid:

I've had the same problem, except I haven't been able to get any wifi matches to work; they've timed out every time. Anyone know what the deal is?

I'm so pissed that Nintendo didn't go with the gamercard route. Now I need my friend's other numbers...

Instead of mics, I'll be using my phone.

*ring* "Hello, can I please speak to (insert name here)? Thanks. ... DOOD I OWNED U FRICKING OWNAGE N00b!! OMGWTFBBQ!!"

I'll add EVERYONE here after work today. Played a couple of you already (lost some, won some, good times :)

4511-0123-4844 is mine. I added everyone listed here, so feel free to add me. I'll also add anyone that responds to this saying they added me if I haven't already added them.

3652-0189-7277

my name: xtrm!

I'll add all of the others later!

Stating the obvious here when I say:
unified gamer identity >>> multiple-digit, game-specific friend codes. That said...

Wii: 6282 5384 8704 5816
Brawl: 1762 2346 0716

My Wii Code:
3420-1484-0582-0252
My Brawl Code:
3179-5744-1156

And I second the amount of retardedness this is.

BTW, last time I checked only a few of you had added my wii number. When I get home tonight, I'll add all the brawl numbers in this thread.

ADD me i'm looking for a good fight
mi code is
