2) Pokémon Diamond and Pearl
Without a doubt, the best new feature of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl was the addition of the ability to trade and battle online. While FireRed and LeafGreen came bundled with a wireless adapter, these were largely the first games that properly took advantage of not having to be shackled by to a link cable to enjoy Pokémon with a friend.
It made the journey of catching an even higher number of Pokémon a whole lot easier and finally meant that we wouldn’t need to buy both versions of the game to catch ’em all!
Sorry, but you can’t make a “Best of WFC” without Monster Hunter.
We’ve excluded Monster Hunter from the list (and from our poll) since it technically used Capcom’s servers for online play and not Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, but there’s no doubt that it was easily one of the most ambitious and addictive online games on any Nintendo console. ;)
Yeah, there was a number of great third party games that would have made the list if it had been open to all games with online play.
I agree with you though. I plan on getting Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate as part of the Mario Kart promotion in a couple of weeks!
