Wi-Fi for DS


Japan has finally revealed some details for the wireless capability for the Nintendo DS. The core plan is like the PSP, if have a wireless setup or access to a wireless signal, you can play against others all over the world. However, Nintendo also realizes not everyone has wireless access. For that they have two solutions. One is to create Nintendo sponsered hotspots across the country, locations unknown at this time. The other is a nifty little dongle that connects via the USB port on your computer. The dongle uses the existing network access on the computer to allow the DS to connect wireless. Currently release date for the first DS Wi-Fi enabled game is DS Mario Kart on November 14th with more coming later.
