If you have any suggestions for games we should have arenas for please provide the full game name below along with some information on the game, # of players (EX: 4v4-8v8), and any other useful information you can provide.

Thanks,

Mario Kart DS is a great game and deserves a ladder in my opinion. Though, connecting with the people you're trying to connect to could get a bit confusing.

[DrkrZen]

Not only has Mario Kart DS been out nearly 2 and a half years, but it was the very first Nintendo DS game to feature online play.. how it still doesn't have a ladder, here on GB, is beyond me, lol. It supports 4 player races across 4 tracks per set and you're awarded points based on the place you take.

Connecting wouldn't be too hard, as you just swap Friend Codes and connect.. no different from Pokemon Diamond/Pearl. As for setting up races.. possibly having 1-3 people per clan and having 2v2 races could work. Then, the two opposing clans add up all the points they earned through out the races and those with the most get the win. Having 1v1 races could work, too.. but those are rather boring.

A few other DS games that should make the cut, although I'm not heavily into, include The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass (a game of complex 'tag'), Luminous Arc (game reminiscent of Final Fantasy Tactics) and Star Fox Command (essentially a shooter/4 player dog fight).

Advance Wars: Days of Ruin gets a mention for it being an absolutely superb title, the first in the series to support WiFi and the third DS game to feature Voice Chat.. although fights online are 1v1 and sometimes take a looong while, but its all good fun.

That's about all I can think of, other than Sonic Rush Adventure.. which features 1v1 side scrolling races.

I believe that Mario and Sonic go to the Olympics is also coming out for the DS and I believe that it features WiFi as well. Not sure how that'll work out.

Sonic Rush Adventure is another notable one that I had completely forgotten about. That features 1-1 as DrkrZen stated above. In my opinion, that arena should only allow 2 people maximum in the clan.

The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass is another good game from what I've been noticing. That features 1-1 as well. Would make a decent arena. I think this should allow 2 or 3 people maximum in a clan.

Mario Kart DS would make a brilliant clan. As me and DrkrZen both stated. It could make both a singles and a doubles ladder under one arena. Singles would be 1-1 races. Doubles could be 2-2 although, you'd have to either add you and your teammates total points together at the end, or you could just have it as the team that the winner is on at the end of the series of races wins. Though, that would be settled by the refs/admins when applying the rules. Either one of those could work for doubles.

Madden NFL 2008 (DS) would make a good arena too. I've had the game for a while now, and everytime I'd have a good game going some idiot would disconnect on me. I got really competitive and then out of nowhere get the disconnection screen. Wouldn't mind seeing an arena for this game either. With a competitive game ongoing, I doubt they'll disconnect if the match actually matters on GB. Would love to see an arena for this. The game is 1-1. The arena should limit maximum players to 2, in my opinion.

Star Fox would make a good addition as well. It's 4-4 though, I'm not sure if you can be on teams with the game. Though, you could use it as 2 members on your team vs 2 members on there team and just watch over your teammates and play it as winner takes all. I think anyways. Considering that fact, this would make a great Singles and/or Doubles ladder.

I also recommend adding a Singles section to Metroid Prime: Hunters as well as keeping the doubles section. I also recommend one more thing, which would be adding a doubles section to the Pokemon Diamond/Pearl (DS) Arena for Double Battles, as well as keeping the Singles one that currently exists. Though it'd still be 1-1, the game-play and strategy would be completely different, but would technically be doubles. Which is why I recommend it.

Sorry if I sound cocky and demanding about that, not trying to. Just stating my opinions of what I believe would work and what could be the best ideas for these.

Advance WAR: DoR would be a prefect for GB. We already have a lot of guys recommending this game. Please add this ladder

[Miamisportsfan45]

Yeah, I've been hearing quite a bit about the game. This thread needs more attention.

Advance wars

[Miamisportsfan45]

Advance wars is a must, but the other games listed are definitely great games to create Arenas for as well.

[Goatwrench]

oh yes advance wars you took it right out of my mouth. id like to see that. maybe also a tetris ladder?

[Goatwrench]

oh ps tetris is pretty univrsal, and you can do 2v2 also, if that helps

[Jonboi]

Advanced Wars for sure

[Miamisportsfan45]

Tetris? That's a different one. Didn't see that coming, but I guess that could make a good arena too... probably wouldn't be too popular but it'd still get some sort of attention.

[Shinigami-X]

i also agree for Advance Wars : Days of Ruins

[Miamisportsfan45]

I need money to buy a lot of the other games that I've been hearing about that are pretty good so that I can check these other DS games for myself...

[Blackfire45]

Advance Wars is a must.

Do the smart thing,make a ladder for this game.Or else,you would be doing the stupid thing.

xD
