Nintendo Releasing Wireless Router for Revolution

[wraggster]

Nintendo is really pushing their Nintendo Wi-fi hard, completely reversing the anti-online mentality they've held in years past. Nwizard.com reports, "Nintendo will soon be producing a router that will allow access to the Nintendo Wi-Fi Network on both the DS and the Revolution. The router plugs into a USB 2.0 port and transfers your computers internet connection wirelessly into your next-gen Nintendo devices." It should be noted this story came at almost the same time as Sony announced they dropped the PS3's router functionality.

I was hoping they would release a wireless router that could plug directly into the phoneline, as appose to needing a PC to be turned on. Perhaps they will release both.

Well done Nintendo. In humor, timing is everything :)

They should just have the router like the ones that plug into the ethernet port and the modem. Those don't even need to plugged into the computer at all to work once they are set up.
