My girlfriend has an original Nintendo DS (not lite). She never plays it, so I am going to inherit it, once we find out which box it is stored in. The only drawback is that it is Pink, but oh well.
My question is this, does the original DS have built in wireless connectivity? I did some searches online but all I could find info for was the DS Lite. I have a wireless internet setup at my place, so I wanted to play online DS. Do I need any kind of adapter or is it built in?

Also, while I'm on the topic, what are some good games for DS? Especially ones with online capability. I'm going to ebgames later and checking out their used selection.

Yes the original DS has wireless. If it didn't, that would essentially make it obsolete, pissing off anyone who bought the first model.

Good online games off the top of my head:

Mario Kart DS
Tetris DS
Planet Puzzle League
Metroid Prime Hunters

actually, mario kart kinda sucks online - way too many exploiters

it has an excellent single player mode though, maybe the best in the series

I would get Brain Age and Big Brain Academy. Always a good time with those.

castlevania: portrait of ruin, while a great single player game, blows online

"oh- i get to fight bosses with a friend/random dude? sounds great. maybe he can sell me some shit later while he's at it"

"co-op mode" my ass

Well you don't get Castlevania for multiplayer action. That would be like getting a cheeseburger at a Mexican restaraunt. Castlevania has always had stellar single player.

well yeah but it's billed on the box as featuring co-op action.

it needs an *
