Abstract
Provided is a communication system which includes a plurality of game apparatuses. Each game apparatus performs short-range wireless communication with another game apparatus among the plurality of game apparatuses. Through the short-range wireless communication, the game apparatus receives identification information of the other game apparatus (other-apparatus identification information) from the other game apparatus. The game apparatus detects the communication status of the short-range wireless communication with the other game apparatus. Based on the detection result, the game apparatus determines whether or not to register the other game apparatus which is associated with the received other-apparatus identification information. When determining to register the other game apparatus, the information processing apparatus registers the other game apparatus and performs communication with the registered other game apparatus.
