Nintendo to Release Wireless Bridge for the Wii

Nintendo has struck gold with its little Wii console. Although the device is years behind when it comes to performance and graphics, it still beats the heck out of the Xbox 360 and PS3. And while Microsoft is still successful with the 360, Sony is quite sad with its own poor strategic decisions regarding the PS3’s price to features ratio.
In the mean time, Nintendo is celebrating by never dropping the price on the Wii and releasing simple, yet playful accessories for their motion-based gaming system. Recently, the company has announced a future device called the Nintendo WiFi Network Adapter. Most of you might think “hey, wait a minute, doesn’t my Wii already have integrated WiFi?”. Sure it does, I’ve been using WiFi on Wii for a long time. So, what exactly is Nintendo cooking in its backyard?
Well, as opposed to the Xbox 360 WiFi Adapter, this isn’t actually a WiFi card for the Wii, but more like a Wireless router. It is meant to provide a WiFi Internet connection for your gaming console. The manufacturer states that the device can either be used as a router, or it can be set to become a bridge for an already installed router. Obviously the device also works with the Nintendo DS. Actually, if things are as the company states, the adapter could pretty well provide wireless connectivity for any WiFi capable device.
Unfortunately, this product will only be released in Japan at first (Nintendo says September 18), but European and US users have high hopes that this adapter will make it to their home markets not to long after the initial launch. Pricing will be of around $53, which makes me think the router in it won’t really provide users with any advanced configuration options (if any at all).
