Online play FAQ

Which systems currently have an online beta?

Nintendo DS games with compatible Nintendo WFC modes and PSP games with compatible Ad Hoc modes. Regular single-player games remain available even when the relay is offline.

Why can I search without finding anyone?

An opponent must be online with a compatible copy of the same game. PSP players should use the same region; Nintendo DS compatibility can vary by title and by the state of community replacement services.

Are these the original official networks?

No. They are independent experimental browser relays, not Nintendo WFC, PlayStation Network or an official Nintendo/Sony service.
