DS WiFi On The Way · Slashdot Mirror

Edge Online reports that Nintendo's DS WiFi service will be launching in Europe as soon as November 25th. From the article: "As explained a few weeks back, Nintendo plans for the system to be safe, secure and easy to access. Players will be able to access the WiFi Connection service via hotspots in their local shop, their internet service at home (shared with the USB dongle) or via public hotspots. Nintendo Europe is still in the process of signing a deal with a telecomms operator to make the latter work, with an official announcement due shortly." Gamasutra has coverage of the WiFi announcement as well, with details on a Nintendo branded adaptor and new wireless titles.

What? Mario Kart DS will be compatible with plain old wifi.

The USB dongle is just a bridge for people who don't have or cannot set up a wifi router. They haven't screwed anyone.
