Nintendo Wi-Fi USB dongle product discontinued

Nintendo Wi-Fi USB dongle - Image 1


Little bit of bad news for those of us who want to get some online action with the Nintendo Wii or the Nintendo DS: The Nintendo Wi-FI USB dongle, a little gadget that lets you take advantage of both Nintendo Company Ltd. devices' Wi-Fi capabilities without the aid of a wireless router, has recently been discontinued from sale. Yes, they're not going to sell the darn thing anymore, and this is confirmed by the Nintendo Online store listing the product as "currently not available for purchase."

While it's a bit sad that we won't be able to purchase one of these babies anymore, Nintendo still has a solution for the wireless router-deficient of us: the Nintendo Wii LAN Adapter, which you can still order through the Nintendo Online Store. And there's still the way of the Wireless Router - after all, you can use it on both your computer AND your Nintendo handhelds, so it pretty much pays for itself.

However, if you still want to experience the convenience of the Wi-Fi USB dongle, then you'd better get a move onto your local video game merchandise store and fast.

When did "currently not available for purchase" become equal to "discontinued?" Perhaps it means "out-of-stock"?

Good. These things are utter trash, the less people who buy them, the better.

If you don't like brutal language (i know there are stars, but everyone knows what i am saying) then please for your sake, skip top part of post, and read after the bottom two lines.





Also, this is what is on everyones minds about game and product haters/dissers.

"The less who buy is better", where the ***** did you get that? You suck, ass hole. Think about what you are saying before you type it. Greek god damn. I mean really, I bought one, and it is great. No need to *****ing diss on it! You don't like Nintendo, then why the ***** are you reading Nintendo Articles? GEEZ! I wish *****ing haters would get a *****ing clue! You don't see me going to PlayStation3 Articles posting on how bad it sucks, and all the ideas for it are even worse. Get a *****ing life man.

Rant over...now for my real reply



On the other hand... it is odd, on how Nintendo wants to have online for everyone... but then they stop making USB connectors... glad I have mine... it was worth the 35 dollas.
