DS

If your friend code list is currently a bit lacking you might be interested in the relaunch of a website with the sole goal of creating a community of DS (and Wii) gamers and enabling them to exchange friend codes for online play.

OneClick Wi-Fi launched just a few days ago, and once registered it enables you to enter your friend codes for all of your wi-fi supported games. You can then use the site's matchmaking feature to meet other players with the same games. Press the 'Play Now' button on the site and it matches you up with other gamers online at that moment and even opens a room for you to discuss the game if you fancy.

If you want to find people to play later, there's also a challenges system which ranks your status against other members on a leaderboard. A calendar is also there for gamers to organise tournaments among themselves.

As with any website worth its beans these days, there's YouTube, Twitter and Flickr support and you can create your own profile and blog, join groups and chat in the website's forums.

So if you're lacking in the friends department or just want to engage in some games debate with 'like-minded people', it might be worth checking out. Although as soon as someone types "i pwned joo" into the chat room window I'd suggest slowly backing away.
