Nintendo DS WiFi USB Connector

Nintendo of Japan held a press conference today revealing their Nintendo DS WiFi USB Connector.

DS users will be able to purchase the adapter … and simply connect it to the USB port of a broadband-enabled PC and after a click or two, the PC becomes a home wireless hotspot. Therefore this creates a gateway to the web for the Nintendo DS.

Sounds simple enough.

How many lack a wireless router and need an adapter like this?

  1. Hey, it’s got the Nintendo logo on it, I’ll buy one for the collection.

  2. My home network is not wireless anymore, so I’ll grab one of these on day one (or at the same time as Mario Kart DS and/or Animal Crossing).

  3. yup, have a wired network so i will be picking this up along with mario kart

  4. Wireless routers or access points can be had for less than $30, and don’t tie up a PC. Like this :
    http://www.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=10314422&adid=17662
    for $17 shipped. Then anything in your home can use it, not just your DS.

  5. Exactly like tom said, nobody needs this. This is more expensive than a router and it does less. I don’t understand why anyone would buy one when you can get a router for less and then use any other wireless products with it that you may purchase in the future.

  6. I like how you’re all saying you can get a router for less when you don’t even know how much it costs. Although I do agree it’s pretty pointless if you have a router that will work for the DS.

  7. I need a wifi router. I would have been able to play PS2 online, but about 2-3 years ago we moved the computer to the opposite end of the house. With this simple wifi router, I’ll be able to play my DS online, and depending on the range, I’ll probably be able to play my Revolution online. I’ll be picking one up on Dec 5, when Animal Crossing ships.

    I’d like to add this bastard is about 10$ more than I had thought it’d be, though an American price has yet to be revealed (Europe and Japan-about 30-35$).

  8. It’s a cool idea. Who knows how many people have broadband, but not WiFi.

    I’m just glad to see Nintendo acknowledging there IS such a thing as the internet. (Esp. after the Gamecube! Have they learned their lesson?)

  9. Hey, those aren’t for you guys, people who KNOW what a “wireless router” thingamajig is. No, it’s for all those people who don’t know the meaning of Ctrl-Alt-Delete, yet STILL want to play their animal crossings and mario karts over the net. Optional simplicity.

  10. I have a wireless router and a bridge in order to bring my Gamecube online to play PSO since my DSL line is in my office and my consoles are in the living room. But for those who don’t have a set up like this, I can only say that as always Nintendo is being user-friendly. This connector is perfect and it also allows you to use it anywhere – the internet cafe, school, work, etc…

    I plan to get one and keep it in my DS case!

  11. I’m gonna get one and keep with my laptop for Hot-Spot access when I’m not at home.

    My only concern regarding access on my home network has to do with the fact that I don’t see a MAC address anywhere on my DS. I use filtering on my network, and this USB dongle may be what I need to bypass it, rather than opening my network up.

  12. I saw a comment somewhere that the Nintendo WiFi USB adapter will not allow non-Nintendo devices to connect, so it would not allow a regular wireless laptop to connect. Someone should confirm/refute this.

    For those who want simplicity (and don’t have a Macintosh….the connector is apparently Windows XP only), the Nintendo connector is the way to go. All others should just buy a wireless router and unwire their entire house. Wireless router installation has gotten A LOT simpler. On a recent install, I just followed the included instructions, which mostly consisted of clicking buttons, and it came right up (this was for a Linksys WRT54G.)

    FYI, if you bring the Nintendo connector to your local internet cafe, you either need USB access to their systems or bring your own computer.

    The wireless stuff has me psyched. Can’t wait to race my friends with Mario Kart DS.

  13. I don’t have a wireless router! …Or a router for that matter… 0_o

  14. i dont have but i have a cable internet with a router so i can plug this thing into the back of that!!!YAY NINTENDO WI-FI CONNECTION!!!!!!!!!!

  15. I like that… thing. I like that it’s prodeble. But if it works poor and it’s more money than the router, I might get that. So I’ll get one of them on December 5th.

    Go AC:WW!

  16. I’m not sure what the Euro price is, but if it is as expensive as you say, I would think that it would be from that revenue that Nintendo actually pays for the network thing. I’ll probably just get it if it has a “jam-it-in-a-usb-slot-and-it-works-nice-and-simple-woo” function, as I don’t have a wireless router and I can’t be bothered scuttering about with them.

  17. can some one tell me when this thing comes out or is it out?

  18. i want to no if you can buy it in shops over in england as i realy want 1 4 mario kart and wat shops it will be in

  19. dont know how old this topic is but if it’s fairly recent, yes it’s out, and mine arrives on saturday 😀

  20. okay maybe I’m missing something…maybe not… Do you just plug it into you computer (one with internet access?) and then click a few buttons then you can access the internet on you DS? Am I understanding this correctly? Or would I need more software?

  21. Could i use a USB Wireless Network Adapter like the one here on ebay to access nintendo wifi? http://cgi.ebay.com.au/USB-Wireless-Network-Adapter-802-11g-WiFi-54G-N14_W0QQitemZ9743965100QQihZ008QQcategoryZ20321QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem or do i need a router or wireless access point. I thought that this device ive given a link to may be the same as the nintendo device but i may be wrong?

  22. i like eggs
