Soon, WiFi gaming Nintendo DS enthusiasts won't need a wireless router for their passion.The folks at 1Up.com were able to get their hands on a WiFi USB connector for testing, soon to be made available to an anxious general public.
The article clears up the confusion for WiFi game aficionados, explaining that the WiFi USB connector allows for Nintendo DS hookups via the USB port on your desktop.
In a nutshell, it creates a Nintendo DS hotspot, allowing for some clean and simple Wifi access for games.
DS owners can now boldly go where Pocket PC users have already been for some time.
That would be in terms of WiFi capability, just not with the online mobile gaming wars.
There are some wild estimates in the 200,000 realm for Wifi hotspot totals come 2009, as per the In-Stat market research firm.
At the moment, this bodes better for the Nintendo DS than the Pocket PC in terms of wireless access ability.
Nintendo has performed a series of WiFi coups recently to the cheers of the wireless mobile gaming demographic.
Just a day earlier my Nintendo Outpacing PDA WiFi Gaming detailed the pervasive WiFi game push by Nintendo, while my WiFi Hotspots Gaming Battle Intensifies article a few days earlier detailed the agreement to provide WiFi access to the Big Mac demographic.
It's only compatible with the Windows XP OS, leaving some would-be anti-Gates users out in the Macintosh cold.
The apathy is evident.
Quality Pocket PC game releases like WiFi-capable
Warfare Incorporated are looking a bit sparse.
Not to mention that there isn't a huge online Pocket PC gaming public to begin with, and with ever-increasing ubiquitousness Nintendo DS users will find numerous games to join.
Compounding this is evidence from all accounts indicating an easier exercise to hook up some online multiplayer racing mayhem with some Mario Kart DS instead.
We've seen that innovation still strides boldly forward. Let's hope for some more steps on the WiFi Pocket PC gaming front.
