Nintendo to Launch Free Wi-Fi in Nov.
By Nate Mook | Published October 6, 2005, 1:49 PM
Nintendo said on Thursday its free Wi-Fi Connection service for wireless gaming will officially launch on November 14. The service will work with the company's Nintendo DS console and support a number of games, including Mario Kart DS, Animal Crossing and Metroid Prime Hunters.
Wi-Fi Connection will be accessible from inside or outside the home, at select Nintendo Hotspots across the United States. The service will also be compatible with Nintendo's next-generation game console, known as the "Revolution." Players can connect and seek out known friends, or automatically play with others based on skill-level.
Get that BS off of here, betanews is not a place for you to post your scam sites and lies you low life.

|What is this talk of saving nintendo?
I might be wrong but I don't think nintendo needs saving, sony on the other hand.
This sounds great,I hope that there will be hot spots out side the U.S

|My point was that it's (notice proper usage) pretty sad if you have to be that critical over a simple grammatical error. Mistakes happen. This is a tech site, not a grammar school.
By the way, since we're being so anal, "with what wit which you retort" should be "what wit with which you retort." It reads better. mmmmmk.
