you realize your friend codes will be different ... right?
i guess this is no big deal to some people ... but for instance, i'm so desperate to play TETRIS i'm about to buy a regular DS --- then i realized none of my stats or rankings will carry over when i buy the DS LITE.

man!

I thought the friend code is unique to each game cart not the DS itself?

I thought you could transfer your WFC ID? I remember there seemed to be such an option on the DS to perform this, if you have 2 DSes, you can take a cartridge like Mario Kart, select 'transfer WFC ID,' and this will perform the transfer.

When I got my Lite I had to re-register it with my PC and the Nintendo WiFi software, but I don't think my friend code changed.

Then again, I haven't played any friends on it yet so don't know. May check later. It is charging now after a healthy session of MK WiFi last night and some Children of Mana this morning.

So does it work?

Someone please confirm this as I'll be reluctant to switch to Lite right now, my Tetris record is too good already. :P

Tis why I haven't messed with the friend code business yet. Although all my Metroid stats will be trashed then.... :(

Just checked, and my Mario Kart friend code did change when I switched to my DS Lite.

All my stats remained the same though.
