About Metroid Prime: Hunters' Rival Radar

[benol]

Ok, for those of you who don't know, Metroid Prime Hunters has a way of etting rivals called Rival Radar. In this mode, you turn on the Rival Radar, close your DS and brigng your DS with you. If someone else is using Rival Radar too, it adds you to their Rival list and vice versa.

Now for the question. What are the chances that you will go somewhere with your Rival Radar on, and walk past someone with it on? This idea is kind of stupid to me. also, any of you have any luck with the Rival Radar?

Slim to none chance of it working for me. But, i can see if you live in an area with a ton of population, say.... japan. Or major cities in the US, people that ride the subway and such. For me its a useless feature, but its still cool that its in there.

I've never had it work. Not too many people areound me bought it.
The only way I make rivals is if I play somebody online and then ask them after, or if it's somebody i know, say from school has it.
It's a fun game, but when I play online people can do really cheap tricks. So I only tend to add people who play.... normally. (don't do the same little tricks each time)

I remember on here (benheck.com forums) some members played once or twice,but the tournament thing really didnt work out. I'd set a date, told everybody to sign in at a certian time, and only 2-3 people actually did. So it kind of, drifted off from there.

fun game, but the rival radar thing isint as cool as it'd seem, because most people don't do it.
