A new site, Wiffy.ie, has launched to cater for sharing ‘friend codes’ for the Nintendo DS to other Irish gamers.
Friend codes are used to identify other users on the DS’s multiplayer network. Once users are connected vie a wireless WiFi internet connection, they can play enabled games and communicate with each other. Nintendo’s upcoming console the Wii will also use the codes.
“When Mario Kart was released in November 2005, I knew this system was something special, playing online so easily with friends was the key feature” said Barry Hand, site developer, “The downside was finding new friends who also had the game, I really wanted to play against other Irish gamers, I knew lots of people were playing, I just didn’t know where they were”.
The DS was released about two years ago, while a slim version the DS Lite was out in June of this year.
