Nintendo may use USB WIFI adapter for Nintendo WIFI Connection Online

Some unconfirmed reports indicates that Nintendo is planning to release an USB WIFI adapter for user who has no wireless network that can plug into their PC to go online with the Nintendo DS and Nintendo's next generation codename Revolution.

"Basically, instead of an accessory that will let you go non-wireless, this accessory will make your current Internet connection compatible with WiFi," according to a comment attributed to an unnamed Nintendo representative.

GI confirmed that Nintendo UK declined the reports, but DS Update emailed Nintendo of America and this is what he said:

"Hello and thank you for contacting Nintendo,

The USB Wireless Network Adapter, for use with the Revolution and the Nintendo
DS systems, is being developed and is estimated for release in 2006. It will
work with the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. It will use a USB 2.0 connection.

Be sure to keep an eye on our web site at www.nintendo.com for all the latest
news on the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection."

Have fun!
Nintendo of America Inc.

Confirming the the reports even more. Stay Tuned!

When "may" turns into "will", it'll be good news.

Sweet, now I don't have to spend lots of money on a WiFi connection at home, I could just hook up to my existing internet connection, thats of course, if they even do.
