How do you determine what content or stats are displayed for each game?
Each game has its own set of displayable statistics and content, based on
what the game's designers decided to include.
How often are Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection stats updated?
Each game has its own set of displayable statistics and content, based on
what the game's designers decided to include.
How can I view my own individual stats?
To view your own individual stats and member-only game content, you'll need
to link your Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection ID to your My Nintendo account (how
to). Once this is done, log in to your My Nintendo account on Nintendowifi.com,
and visit the Gaming Hub.
Everything from the last games and times you played, to a list of all the games you have played while connected to the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection are displayed. Individual game pages may display additional personal stats specific for that game.
How long after I play will it take my most recent stats to appear on Nintendowifi.com?
Your most recent Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection statistics should be posted within
two (2) hours.
Can I see how I stack up against other players
The information available depends on the games you have played. For instance,
the Tetris DS page of the Gaming Hub allows you to search by your screen name
or score. Metroid Prime Hunters provides a leader board, your and your friends'
Hunters License, and more. Visit the Gaming Hub, and select the game you are
playing, for more details.
Reminder: Be sure to link your Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection ID to your My Nintendo account (how to), in order to be able to view any of your available personal statistics.
All the statistics in the Gaming Hub are blank or displayed with a '0'.
If you are not seeing any connection data, such as "Top Players," "Top Cities," and
so forth, and are instead seeing blank tables or information displayed as a "0," then
it is possible you are viewing the data as our networks are making their next
round of calculations. Try waiting a few minutes and refreshing the page. If
the problem persists, it could be a network issue that our technicians are working
on. Please check back later.
How can I play against one of the top-ranked players listed on the Gaming Hub?
Unless you've exchanged friend codes with someone appearing in the rankings
charts, Nintendo's privacy guidelines prohibit a direct challenge. Remember
to NEVER reveal any personal information in chat groups or forums. Please also
do not reveal your Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection Friend Codes on Nintendo's forums.
Will stats for multiplayer matches I played offline (LAN) appear when I play online
Whether stats gained during offline (LAN) play with friends are displayed
when playing online is up to the designers of the individual games. For instance,
your win-loss record playing Mario Kart offline does not affect the win-loss
record displayed when you play through the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.
The designers of Metroid Prime Hunters decided to track the total stats you achieved while playing multiplayer offline (kills, longest win streak, distance travelled in the game, etc.) and add it to the stats you aquired while playing online.
