This year, at OhayoCon 2009, DSSingleCard.com will again be hosting the Nintendo DS program.
So, what does all of this mean and how will it all work?
Question #1: What is Single-Card Download?
Answer: Single-Card Download is an ability that the Nintendo DS has that allows (up to) 16 people to play a game and only one of those people
needs to own a copy of the game. Single-Card Download features include Vs Play (head-to-head competition), Co-op Play (cooperative play), Mini Games
(smaller games, not part of the main game), and Demos (where you can download a copy of the game that you can play solo).
Question #2: Who can participate and what do you need to bring?
Answer: Any attendee of the OhayoCon 2009 Anime & Game Convention is welcome to participate. All you need to bring is your own Nintendo DS
system (charging must be done in your hotel rooms). A few of the games will require you to have your own copy to participate. The current (and
regularly updated) list of games (and any special requirements) are listed below.
Check back each week as new games are added every Monday.
