Topic: List of Online Multiplayer 3DS Games

@Windy Its because they don't have a good enough internet connection.

Good job with the update, this thread need to be stickied...
I agree that its quite unfortunate not to have more games with on-line play but from what I understand from reading afew indie studio interviews, providing online gaming requires quite a large effort of programming and time...
Most small studio's will have spent alot just to put even a single player experience out there, kudos to Renegade and SquareEnix London for trying ATV/HOR, im guessing bigger studios dont want to risk a flop or simply have tighter schedules... knowing the product will likely sell the same numbers with or without online play. hmmmm no idea about server running costs...

Do any of the DS multiplayers work on the 3DS? For example I can't get Age of Empires: Age of Kings to work in multiplayer on the 3DS?

Is that because none of them do? It's almost impossible to find any documentation online about this after having spent a couple of hours looking.

You have to have wifi compatible with the DS games. Most DS games require shamefully low security networks.

Out of all these which actually have a well flashed out multiplayer. (Mario Tennis Open is not very well done it is laggy there is not many options and the way to get the most points is win your serve and disconnect if you are playing anybody rated better than you).

What I would want is no lag ever. (i.e running the game on the server don't mind if the other player jerks a bit but my game should be smooth. Tournaments / Cups / Doubles. Rubbish the way it is there is no way to have a long game.)

Even set to no security I can't get Age of Empires/Age of Kings to work in multiplayer mode on two 3DS's.

Steel Diver: Sub Wars added to the list (really need to comb through the eShop to see if there's any other games I've missed since I last updated).

AiRace Speed & Jump Trials Supreme added to the list.

Bird Mania Christmas 3D added to the list.

What about Fantasy Life? It's awesome! I want another add-on DLC. ;D

Awesome thread. Please update!

The thread hasn't had a post in over a year, which is over the 6 month limit, but I'd be glad to update if the mods deem it okay.

EDIT: did a little update anyway (added Smash & a few others), but I'll wait to add more until I get an okay from the mods.

lol this has online multiplayer but _____ doesn't....
(insert the billion others that could have used it and didnt get it)

You can add The Magic Hammer to the list as well. It has online co-op lol

Yeah, I've been slowly scouring through the eShop (and reviews) to update the list (since the mods apparently didn't mind the revival?), and I've often been surprised how often I run into a random unassuming budget eShop game that has some sort of online functionality, lol.

Anyhow, any one have any confirmation on if the Art Academy games have an online gallery? Even after reading reviews, I'm not sure if they do or not.

Also, having a hard time deciding on whether or not to add Fire Emblem Fates. It does have online modes, but nothing real time head to head or comparable to a leaderboard, as far as I can tell.

EDIT: @McGruber, I already have (under the RPG section), but thanks for the heads up!

Kirby Battle Royale features online co-op for those still chooglin on the 3DS
