5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT ITEM FOR USING NINTENDO WI-FI!!!!!!!, January 2, 2006

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector (Electronics)

First off you need to have a PC(XP ONLY!!!) and a hi-speed internet, THATS ALL!!! The setup is sooooo easy,a caveman can do it!!!!!!!!The only thing tat stinks is you can only be 40 ft. away to have a maximum 3/3 connection. If you don't have a Wi-Fi router
and dont have anything compatible with Wi-Fi but the DS, get this.
This USB can ONLY work for the DS and i heard on the internet that it can also be used for the upcoming Nintendo Revolution!!
The only thing you have to look out for is DONT GET THIS ON AMAZON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it can be bought for 35 -40 bucks from Nintendo or bestbuy!

This review is from: Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector (Electronics)

Sure, the "Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector" is great if you don't have a wirelesss rouder, but please, $50? I found this for $30 at the Nintendo site. Why pay overpriced? Even though the price on 'Amazon' is selling it for is high, it's perfect for people who have Wi-Fi compatible games but no rouder. I would have ginev it a 4/5, but the price is too high.
