Nintendo Announces Wireless GBA Adapter

Posted by simoniker on from the no-trailing-wires-for-multiplayer dept.

Thanks to an anonymous reader for pointing to the Yahoo press release announcing Nintendo is using Motorola technology to produce a wireless adapter for the GameBoy Advance. According to the release, "The 2.4GHz radio frequency (RF) chipset enables up to five players to play each other wirelessly, allowing for flexible, mobile game playing", and it "...will be launched in Japan first half of 2004." Motorola is also hosting a picture of the device, showing how it connects to the GBA.

    Great, this is exactly what we need, another device on 2.4 gig. There were not enough reports of 2.4 gig cordless phones disconnecting 802.11b links, we needed this.
