Press Release

This is the official press release, released on July 20, 2007. [http://gonintendo.com/?p=21769 Press release on GoNintendo] .]

Up until now, we’ve had to go through the trouble of finding different ways to communicate with our friends to trade friendcodes and play online. But now all of that has changed, thanks to the newest WFC website, “OneClick Wi-Fi.” Featuring over 65 different Wi-Fi compatible games, it offers one of the biggest game selections to connect with friends on the internet. In addition, the “Play Now” feature that allows you connect to friends and other members live using Wi-Fi Connection, without the hassle of setting up game appointments via messaging.

After a short registration process, you can enter your different codes into your account; these can easily be accessible by your friends via viewing your profile. Afterwards, you can enter yourself in the different game rooms for Play Now, then simply click on the game you wish to play to view all other members wanting to play the same game. Just one click is all it takes with OneClick WiFi.

Not only does OneClick Wi-Fi provide a fast way to connect with friends and others to play games, but it contains a distinct community aspect as well. The site offers a custom-built forum with a sleek layout, which allows users to build their own groups with individual forums, so you and your friends can have your own private area. The forums were built to provide the best possible experience for the users.

Aside from “OneClick” communication and user-friendly interface, the News section gives daily updates concerning both that of the site and of different Nintendo news. News is also placed into different categories so you can easily browse through whatever specific news you’d like to read about. Once logged into your account you can customize news to display only articles that you want to see. It’s a great place to find out anything big going on with Nintendo.

If you thought there couldn’t be any more to a single website, you’re wrong. There are multiple utilities and tools that go even deeper into the user interface, customizable calendar events to mark important days, a “challenge” feature that lets you challenge other members in different games at specific times, and SO much more. And if you require help, OneClick Wi-Fi has a documentation that covers “How-To’s” on the site. If the documents don’t help you, OneClick provides 24 hour assistance from it’s moderators and administrators. OneClick Wi-Fi is definitely one of the best places to hook up with friends, chat in forums, and have fun.

Features

Ratings

After playing a video game with other users, the user can rate the person they played against on their trust level and skill level. Other users can use these ratings to decide whether they should play a game with a particular person.

Connection Cards

Connection Cards display a user's friend codes and other information on other websites. In the form of a small HTML card, it displays a user's skill and trust levels which are based on the ratings given by other website members. By hovering the mouse over video game icons, a connection card displays a user's friend codes. The games shown are Nintendo DS and Wii WFC games that have been added to the user's account. The cards were first used on OneClick Wi-Fi's "prequel" website, WiTendoFi, and, along with the information above, also contained user-nominated awards and displayed the amount of people on the website that considered you a friend or a rival.

Groups

"Groups" are collections of users who share the same interests. Each group gets a unique group homepage and discussion forum. The group leader creates the group, and can either invite other users to the group or allow any user to join the group. Groups can send messages to each other, which can be useful for Clans to challenge each other.

Forums

OneClick has many forums that can be used by its members. The forums are divided into sub-forums where users may create new topics or respond to already existent ones. Parts of the forum include OneClick Wi-Fi for site-oriented content, Nintendo DS and Nintendo Wii forums which include forums for specific DS/Wii games, and Community forums. Community includes a forum for user-made creative content/feedback, an area for generic video game discussions and "Off the Cuff" for topics that would be out of place in other forums. Each group also has its own individual forum that can only be viewed by members of the corresponding group. The forums remain one of the most popular features of OneClick, providing a place for user discussion on almost all matters, video game related or otherwise.

Play Now

Play Now is a feature that helps users find other users to play games with. The user chooses a game he/she has registered, then is taken to a web page that displays other users who want to play the same game. The user can then send a message to the other user, trade friend codes, and play the game.

Calendar

The calendar displays release dates of Nintendo DS and Wii games, and user-created events. Users can create events to organize tournaments on a specific day. Other users can then participate in that event.
