What I, Mr B4, will be reviewing for you today is the Wi-fi USB Connector for both the Wii and DS. The MSRP on this item is $39.99, and can be purchased at fye.com, or at any other major video game retailer.
Pluses + Provides good internet connection for both the DS and for the Wii + Easy to install and use on your computer
Minuses - Cord to connect USB connector to computer is too short - Only provides connection for a couple of hours - Overheats way too easily - Only compatible with computers that support Windows XP - Too Expensive - System needs to be a short distance away from connector in order to work
Just a quick reminder, XBL Radio is currently looking for a new picture to use for the video reviews. So be sure to send your best 640X480 pixel image to us at xblradio@platformnation.
The person who gets their picture chosen will be credited on future video reviews and also win a free copy of Ticket To Ride for the XBLA.
Other than that, take care gamers, see you next time, and good luck with the contest.
Take Care, Mr B4
I have had a USB connector since they came out, and I've never had an issue with it overheating or disconnecting after a couple hours. Also, I have a Vista machine and it works fine. There are Vista drivers on the Nintendo website that I had to download, but that's it. I connect my Wii and DS to it. Also, my pc and wii are probably 12-15 feet from each other, and I'm able to play Mario Kart online without any issues.
Platform Nation is a collaboration of several gaming podcasts who decided it would be best for our gamers, the podcasters and the rest of the gaming community if they came together to share efforts. Together we have a larger voice in the community for the gamers that we strive to speak for. We share the same forums and for the most part, share the same listeners. After all, we are a community, not a network.
