A wireless network adapter that costs $50 will go on sale in Japan later this month.

Um, thanks Nintendo, but didn't you already release a LAN adapter two years ago?

So, how's that storage solution that will be even better than a HDD coming along, Nintendo?

[WiiGuy]

wait, so it uses the Wii's Wi-Fi to connect to that to make a wired connection?
that could be useful in some way or another....but over all. wouldn't you like to spend $20 for a LAN adapter then this Wireless LAN adapter which cost $50?

It's Nintendo, and it's not a hardcore game.  What else do you expect?

Honestly, Nintendo has been screwing up almost everything lately, from game quality to Wi-Fi to hardware.  And people won't stop suing them for some reason.

Plus, they aren't going to release it outside Japan.

Are there people in Japan that still use dial-up?

I think something like this would better be marketed in America or Europe.

It's not a game at all.

Yeah, but I mean in general, if it's not a hardcore game, Nintendo will probably mess it up.  Both for hardware, and for casual games (Wii Music sounds extremely terrible... you just have to move the remote like an instrument?  LAME)

"This just in! Nintendo gets sued by some small company nobody has heard of before for stealing their wireless network adapter idea!"
