Nintendo Releasing Wireless Router for Revolution

nmaster64 writes "Nintendo is really pushing their Nintendo Wi-fi hard, completely reversing the anti-online mentality they've held in years past. Nwizard.com reports, "Nintendo will soon be producing a router that will allow access to the Nintendo Wi-Fi Network on both the DS and the Revolution. The router plugs into a USB 2.0 port and transfers your computers internet connection wirelessly into your next-gen Nintendo devices." It should be noted this story came at almost the same time as Sony announced they dropped the PS3's router functionality." Update: 07/13 06:20 GMT by Z : Please note there is no source referenced for this "story", and this could in fact be some guy's pet theory.

Not as revolutionary as Nintendo's next, the "Parasite".

Needing a computer to connect to so that it can use its CPU & GPU, it represents the very essence of Nintendo philosophy, the re-use and recycling of known and proven technology.

Xbox has had this for a while.

Microsofts Xbox has had wireless networking for a while now.
It should be expected of Nintendo and sony to match what Microsofts pervious console, anything less just means they are falling behind.
