 Best wifi device for a handheld. July 1, 2006
10 out of 10 found this review helpful
This wifi device is great.
I am one of the unlucky people who got a wifi dongle of another name, and
it was a big mistake.So i was a little scared of this item,
as i thought i may get the same problems.
I was wrong. Its a fantastic easy to use item.
Even the pc rookies will have no problems.
I am recomending this as i made the wrong choice myself in the past.The only warning is it is for the ds only, but you can use 5 at a time. Great job Nintendo.
Very worthwhile purchase. April 13, 2006

This quite expensive for a portable console accessory.. but it really is worth it, it will help you get alot more out of the compatable games, and the fact you can fully enjoy them then- the multiplayer, makes it worth the initial cost.
I have MarioKart and Animal Crossing, and both have the online implemented in a very safe and easy to access way.
You just plug the USB thing in, and after the initial installation on the computer, connect and all the compatable games should be able to connect without any problems...
So far I haven't had any problems with the USB thing, a few times I've failed to connect, but trying again seems to sort it out!
You don't need this if you have a wireless router already, and you need broadband for it to work at it's best. I haven't tried dial up, but I played with someone on Animal Crossing who did, and there was pretty bad lag.
There is an unnofficial one available which is cheaper, but I don't know how good it is.
The problem with this is that it doesn't work with Macs, and I think needs Windows XP, so look into this before you invest!
Neither of these were a problem for me, so I can't say.
You can find hotspots around if you keep your eyes open, but this is alot more convenient than sitting in the train station!
There is a good selection of online games- Mariokart, Animal Crossing, Tony Hawk, Metroid, Tetris are the one's avaliable now or this spring, and hopefully a Four Swords Zelda will rear it's head sometime.
I can highly recommend this if its compatible with your computer, as there is already a good selection of genres, and playing games like MarioKart online freshens them up again if you've already finished them.
The 2 games I've played have been made very safe online thanks to the "friend code" system. You exchange codes with someone and then play each other- this can be done via online message boards and it makes games like Animal Crossing more safe.. but on more competetive games like Mariokart you can just play anyone who is online with no chat feature.
Metroid has a voice chat feature, I don't know how this is implemented, but I'd guess it's only for games where you've exchanged friend codes to keep it family friendly.
I have no problem with this, as I can easily access online boards, but it may be a hassle for some people.
Excellent, and useful July 25, 2006

I had bought this product from amazon as soon as it came out. It is really user friendly, and you dont have to even install the cd provided.Because, the usb driver always gets updated so you may aswell download the lastest one rather than downloading the old driver. If you are going to purchase this, or already have this but not sure wether you have the latest driver, go to: http://ms.nintendo-europe.com/software/nintendods/winxp/en/
As on that site, it has the latest driver. A new driver doesnt come up every five minutes, only once in a while, to rid any glitches or sumthing so you dont need to acess the site regularly. Now about the product its self, it was easy to instal, the ds can conect to it easily, and it has an okay-ish range, but the ds lite can access it from a much longer distance. The only problem i would say with it is that if you were on another persons sever, on the same computer, you would need to again connect your ds to the usb device, but thats only if you are using it on another persons server, but this doesnt take long anyway. The price is a bit steep...but if you are going to get a nintendo wii, this MAY BE compatible with it. ITs only rumors, but it would be a bit silly if it wasnt compatible.

Despite seeing a lot of negative reviews on this page, I plucked up the courage to buy this item to connect my Wii console to the internet.
I have Windows XP, connect with basic Orange Broadband, through a wired connection. I am happy to say that the installation worked first time, it probably took about 15-20 minutes to install, and I have been able to view the shop channel and succesfully download Super Mario 64.
As the device has performed its intended purpose succesfully, I have no hesitation in awarding it 5 stars.
Well Done Amazon March 3, 2008

I purchased the Nintendo WiFi USB for use with my nintendo Wii on the 1st March 08 and was amazed to receive it on the 3rd March 08
After having a nightmare with a cheaper USB link i took the plunge and went for the Nintendo USB,and followed the on-screen instructions on my PC,after 10 minutes i had my internet connection.
i would recommend this product to anyone with Windows XP or Windows Vista
