Nintendo Releasing Wireless Router for DS and Rev

[ShadowMarth]

Thanks slashdot, you rock!

"Nintendo is really pushing their Nintendo Wi-fi hard, completely reversing the anti-online mentality they've held in years past. Nwizard.com reports, "Nintendo will soon be producing a router that will allow access to the Nintendo Wi-Fi Network on both the DS and the Revolution. The router plugs into a USB 2.0 port and transfers your computers internet connection wirelessly into your next-gen Nintendo devices." It should be noted this story came at almost the same time as Sony announced they dropped the PS3's router functionality."

This is great news of course for all of you without wireless routers. You can buy this cheaper, and easier little device. Also, that's sad news that the PS3 dropped the router functionality. Assuming it was wireless, it could have worked well for both the DS, PSP, and Revolution. Also, I assume this will work with the PSP...

good news,my guess would be september/october release (I hope a world wide release) to go with the launch of online games of course (metroid and animal crossing are due around then well those were the dates i last heard )

but i hope that some hacks it so download play can go over the net making all multi player game out now can go over the net .
Since they got patches to let your router download play DS demos ,who knows but one can only hope

metroid wont be online...Will my wireless G router still work with them? it works perfectly with my PSP...

G covers B, so you'll be fine. 802.11b is the one that both the PSP and DS (as I assume Rev) utilize.
