This year, at OhayoCon 2010, 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 2010 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 until the convention.
Question #3: Does it cost anything to participate?
Answer, Part A: All events for the program are free to participate in.
