For the entire Month of March, there will be unlimited Netplay. This means that there wont be any netplay restrictions. Usually you can only join sessions and need the special 'Netplay' item to create the sessions.

Hopefully this will encourage more netplay sessions to take place.


Some recently asked questions:

What is Netplay?
It allows you to play many of the games in the Retro Game Room online in multiplayer mode with 1 or more other users. Some of the systems include: Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis, N64, Nintendo NES and more.

How do I create a session?
Go to a game that supports netplay. Scroll down to the netplay section and click the link to create a netplay session. Fill in the info and your game will become ready for other people to join.

How do I join a session?
Each game that supports netplay will show a list of active sessions. You can also go to the lobby page (link at top of the RGR) and that page will have a list of all active sessions for all games. That page also has a chat room where you can talk with users and ask which games they'd be willing to play with you.

Davideo7 : Thanks I actually made a mistake and replaced my netplay item with something else so now I can finally play it again or at least the month until I get netplay back.

 Davideo7: Sweet this is good. finally i can netplay some games i wanna play i m gonna save up for the netplay still , but this is a great offer for anyone who does not have it or cant get the item 

earthwarrior : I'm sure this will be good, and people probly will actually start making netplay sessions I can feel it or at least I hope.

Lol This is so funny. I bought the netplay item last night. Not even twenty-four hours later, it's free for a month. But I'll still have it after the month is over, so no loss. And I love that this is happening, because it's going to be alot of fun for those who can't afford it yet.

Eirinn : Can you create a super Mario bros 3 netplay session so both of us can play it I would gladly appreciate it.

  hold on  i cant create any street fighter or final fight sessions  is this a bug ? or something because  click to start netplay sessions is not showing for me 

You know, if you need an advertising slogan for this, you could always use the cliché march Madness thing. XD And this would help... but I've already made my Mrs. Pac Man tournament a non Net Play tournament, so it is all good. Great idea though.

How do you start a net play session? I think there's supposed to be a button but I can't find it where the net play part of a game's description is but I can't find/see it.

It will not let me create a session i know how and everything but there is no create button. Why is this?

I can't create one either, I wonder why that is, maybe because David didn't give everyone the ability to use Netplay yet? or maybe it is enabled at a certain time... I dunno.

port753 : just click on the session nameto join a session not the game name

I can join sessions just fine, but i cannot make them. david please fix this.

Sorry about that, should be fixed now.

Is netplay so that u can play online with your friends? And how do you start a session? And where would I buy a netplay item?

Davideo7 :   err how do u get the netplay feature cause i looking for some battles at street fighter

Cho' Matt: That's exactly what netplay is. You go to a game page, go down to the netplay section and than click the link to create a session. Than your friend can either join your session from that page or from the lobby page.

Netplay item can be found in the item shop.

evilcon09 : How do you create a session are you asking? Refer to above.

Edit: My summon failed too. lol I'd delete this if I could. Just ignore it.
