Shipping today: Datel's WiFi MAX for Nintendo Wii™ - Internet gaming through any internet-enabled PC

From the manufacturer: Take your consoles online – wirelessly…

So you have a Nintendo Wii or an NDS (original or Lite). If you're lucky, you have both! You also have a broadband internet connection for your PC. But you don't have a wireless network. What's the easiest, cheapest way to take your consoles online and compete with gamers from all over the world? Simple – WiFi MAX for Nintendo Wii and DS/DS Lite!

WiFi MAX is your ticket to the exciting world of online gaming, and it couldn't be simpler to use. Just plug your USB WiFi dongle into your internet-enabled PC to create a Wireless Access Point. You can then connect to the internet and play online-enabled multiplayer games with DS and Wii gamers from all over the world. Just the thing if you don't have a wireless router! Best of all, WiFi MAX supports up to five ‘local' DS gamers at a time, so you and your mates can all play online at once with no loss of speed!

Don't forget, there's more to the Nintendo Wii's online service than playing games. You can also download additional material such as new levels, skins, artwork and even retro games! That's right – Nintendo is gradually making its back-catalogue classics for old Nintendo machines such as the NES, SNES and N64 available to Wii owners through the Virtual Arcade service. And with WiFi MAX, you can download them through your broadband internet connection! Just think what you'll be missing out on if you don't take your Wii online…

As WiFi MAX operates on the Wireless G standard, it's five times faster than an ordinary WiFi connection, and if you use our USB cable and dongle stand (supplied), you can position your dongle to maximise WiFi range. If you have other WiFi-enabled devices capable of using the internet, such as laptops or PDAs, you can take them online with WiFi MAX too. It's the ultimate device for internet surfing without a WiFi router!

Datel's WiFi MAX for Nintendo Wii™ is shipping today at US$ 34.90 only. Also still available is the WiFi MAX for Nintendo DS™ (currently on promotion at US$ 24.50 only) and for Sony PSP™.
