Oh no! Where is the 0 star option for this review! I want my money back and the last 30 minutes of my life. This cartridge is pretty much an upgrade of Pictochat which is already built in the DS. I think you better off getting a root canal than dealing with this game! Now call your dentist and get your root canal appointment. You'll have more fun with that instead!

Positive Reviews must be from developers

I am amazed that there are a few positive reviews here. Please disregard these reviews as they must be from folks with a stake in this game. Basically, this "game" is making you pay for what you already get. It is a shame Nintendo deceived its fans by even allowing it to be released. So much for their past seal of quality.

its ok...

some people are being too harsh. it is a bit of a rip off, but come on! "shame on nintendo for allowing this to be released" thats kind of mean. but this is game is a lot of fun if you know other people with a ds but alone, its not that great. but its cool to trade hats and clothes with other people and try to make your guy/girl as cool as possible. i kind of like it personally, although is really only fun for about 5 minutes.

Only fun with others who own it

I bought it and played it for a while, but the games get repedative. There are games you can send to another DS, but your friend will show up as a default generic character. Unless you know someone else with the game all the trading of outfits and items isn't even an option. It's really cheap most places, so if you buy it for yourself, buy a 2nd copy for a friend. I ended up selling it.

One of the first DS games, but still one of the best!

Ping Pals was one of the first games out for the DS, but yet it still stands as one of the best titles the system has to offer. What you basically get is the cool Pictochat software, but SO MUCH BETTER! In Pictochat it just says your name before what you say, in Ping Pals you get to choose a cool avatar and dress it up and everything! Nintendo saw how cool this was and stole the idea for the Mii channel on the Wii. You can also choose cool fonts and colors for your writing and draw some pretty neato pictures! One time me and my friend got in a fight so I sent him a picture of an ugly funny face and wrote "YOU" with an arrow pointing to his face. It was hilarious! Bottom line, if you own a DS, you must own Ping Pals!

Do not buy!

It is a shame Nintendo made this game. I thought it would be a game where you could play tons of really fun mini games. I was WRONG! There are 2 singe player mini games and 2 multi-player mini games. They aren't even fun to play at all. With those mini games you get coins to buy clothes stuff for your character, which is really stupid. I would suggest that you buy this game if you like limited games that aren't fun and if you like to dress up things things, only to look at them while you play the boring mini games. So save yourself the money and buy some good game like Super Mario 64 DS or something like that!

Why buy fancy Pictochat?

This game is just a fancy version of Pictochat. The whole "person" thing is boring, and you don't need it for a simple chatting software. I think THQ was trying almost to make a mini wireless sims, where you could talk to other people and trade items, but believe me, NO ONE WILL BE ON!!! I preordered this game before the DS came out, and the game looked fun. back then I also thought the DS could connect to a Wireless Hotspot and go online, but, i was wrong. Another Downside to this game is that there are the totally crappy games, especially "solo chat". the stupidest one is "hot potato" where you and a friend type "pass" when you get the vurtual potato. fun. But really, stick to Pictochat, this is a waste of your money.
