RSSNintendo to Game with Wireless Router
By David Worthington | Published July 13, 2005, 12:59 PM
The Nintendo fanboys Nwizard.com have good news for DS and would-be Revolution owners that are bounded in the fact that they are not tech savvy: Nintendo is releasing an easy-to-use wireless router as an accessory to its gaming products.
Online gaming is set to play a big role in Nintendo's future. During the 2005 E3 trade show, it was announced that Nintendo would introduce free Wi-Fi Internet connectivity to jumpstart its online gaming initiative.
Likewise, the company's forthcoming 'Revolution' console will also feature built-in WiFi connectivity. Wireless support will allow Nintendo to open up its vast archive of titles for download on-demand. Games will be playable on the Revolution regardless of what platform they were originally designed for.
While Nintendo has been sketchy about the specifics, Revolution's internals contain custom hardware from IBM and ATI and each console will ship with a wireless controller.
The router accessory will plug into a USB 2 port on any PC, sharing its connection with the Nintendo hardware.
BetaNews could not reach a Nintendo representative by press time to confirm the report.
"The Nintendo Fanboys Nwizard.com"? Man, that's harsh. While to be honest, you can call me a Nintendo fanboy, Nwizard.com is not built to be a fanboyish website. Nwizard.com is a legitimate Nintendo news site, and is striving to be acknowledged as just that.
At press time of this article, I admit it seemed more like a fanboys blog than an actually news site, but please check back, because we have certainly taken a new and much more serious approach.
I would like to thank BetaNews though for publishing this article and linking to us. We hope to be a source of good news for Nintendo fans for many years to come. Thanks to everyone who is supporting Nwizard.com.
