Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection AnnouncedInitially, the Wi-Fi technology will be used with Nintendo DS unit. From home, if you already have a Wi-Fi network, the Nintendo DS unit will connect directly to it with minimal setup procedures. If you have a broadband Internet connection, but no wireless network, you can use the Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector, sold separately, that will plug into a computer USB port to create a wireless access point to connect to Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. Outside of the home, you will be able to connect in a number of different ways, including thousands of free Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection hotspots nationwide. As stated, Nintendo DS is the first Nintendo system to connect via the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. However, looking forward, the same service will be incorporated into Nintendo's next-generation home console, code-named Nintendo Revolution at this point, set for launch during 2006. |
