I put my name under the ones I have but don't have my friend's code handy, I'll add them later.
If you have a game with online multi-play I haven't listed, add it and I'll update the thread.
I have Endless Ocean and Battalion Wars II, bother of which I think have friends codes, but I've never played them online.

Wii Code: 3309-4549-8543-2578
I have a lot of the games above but I don't know my codes. I'll have to pop on and check. Mario Kart / Smash Brothers would be awesome.

I have never been a fan of Smash Bros, but I totally plan to pick up Mario Kart at some point.
Sooo many games to buy...

Why the heck doesn't the Wii code cover every Wii game? It's crazy it is. I'll be able to provide some codes in a bit (Smash Bros and Mario Kart ahoy!).
What about DS? Or am I the only one here who has one?
Edit: Games I'll be providing codes for: Mario Kart Smash Bros Mario Strikers Charged Battalion Wars 2 Guitar Hero III

I have one, but I rarely use it since I got a Wii.
Since the Wii came out, the release of good DS games has reeeally slowed. I assume the release of the DSi will change that. I am tempted to get a DSi, but don't know if I will use it as much as the Wii and so, don't know if it will be worth it.
As for the codes, I know there is a lot of hate out there for the Wii codes, but I think it's fair enough. You only have to enter each code once, so it's not much harder than calling someone on the telephone, and if it makes the system somewhat safer for families, then more power too them.

Re - edit - Sweet! I'll have to get my Battalion Wars game back off of my little brothers. I bet that's great online.
How's Mario Strikers? I keep considering picking it up.
We have Rock Band Wii, but I'm not sure if you can play that online or not either.
Oh, and anyone in Australia, if we are friends on the Wii, I can send you a demo for Dr Mario that is basically the full version of classic Dr Mario. You just miss out on the new Germ Buster game which I don't think you can play online anyway.

Dr. Mario ahoy! I like that idea.
Mario Strikers is good, I haven't touched it in awhile though, but that may be because I played it to death when I first got it (then again, I've been trying to catch up on DS/GBA games in general, so I haven't been playing much console of late).
Take your time getting back Battalion Wars, it's been awhile since I played it, so I'm going to need a refresher course or two before I challenge anyone in that.

How's Mario Strikers? I keep considering picking it up. Strikers is fun. The Gamecube one was perfect. This one is about 75% as good as that one. I'm surprised you aren't into Smash Bros with all of the games you listed. There is so much Nintendo goodness jammed into the latest game.

Like I've said elsewhere, I haven't tried this latest version, but I did try the last two.
I'm not a fan of fighting games to begin with, and this one I found less fun than most.

For what it's worth, I actually did the normal fighting mode the least. That was mainly just to get coins. I spent about 20x more time in the story mode. In that regards it's more of an action/platformer game.

Well, the 'Subspace Emissary Mode' is a story mode. You start of in a a standard battle playing in a fight of Mario vs. Kirby, then a big fight happens where you have to choose between saving Zelda or Peach (they are both being held in cages), which ever one you free changes the story a little bit. What happens is that the story progresses with you always meeting/changing members of your party, so it gives you the chance to try out all of the various characters (and even unlock some of the hidden ones {they can of course be unlocked by doing the normal battle mode and meeting certain requirements}). The locals you go through are, for the most part, all homage's to various Nintendo games/worlds. In one scene, Meta Knight (from the Kirby games) is racing up a mountain in a cut scene, and happens to encounter the Ice Climbers, this leads to a bit of a race between the two to reach the top first. in another, Peach and Zelda/Shiek are fighting there way out of an enemy battleship, and the differences are hysterical (Shiek is all ninja and stealthy like while Peach just skips along with her parasol over her shoulder).
All the moves the characters do are exactly the same as in the actual fighting mode, so it gives you good practice. The video link below shows the first few cut scenes (each time it cuts back to the menu is where it would have switched over to an action sequence, and before each one,when it shows the list of characters, you then pick the ones you wish to use for the battle/level).

But isn't that just a fighting game with a cut-scene story in between each fight? I mean, maybe I'm not understanding, but that's what it sounds like.
I picked myself up an SD card on the way home from work and re-downloaded Tetris, Bomberman and Dr Mario. My friends code have been added above.
Like I said, any Aus people, I can send you DR Mario. If one person in the US buys it, they can share it with the rest of the folks in the US.

Okay, this video should help. It shows the first appearance of Snake, and the level you then play through with him.
So you see, you actually have levels to run through and stuff. All the moves you do are the same moves you do in the fighting mode too. Every few levels or so you end with fighting a boss (one was a legendary Pokémon, the other a giant robot and one was eve an evil, giant Diddy Kong).
Hope that helps clear things up a bit more. Also in this mode, you can collect trophies (they are hidden in the levels and you can even get an item that turns enemies trophies) and stickers. Stickers are random and do everything from increase your item drop %, to increasing your strength and there are hundreds of them.
