Nintendo announces that it will be launching a new Nintendo Wi-Fi Network Adapter that is due to come out in the Japan market on September 18. The adapter can serve as a router or a bridge for your existing router. There’s also an auto setting in which it can detect and automatically switch to any network.

Although it is labeled as Nintendo and made for the Wii and the DS, the Nintendo Wi-Fi Network Adapter could also be used by other devices as well. Just like any ordinary wireless adapter/router, it is compatible with your PC as well as your non-Nintendo consoles such as the PS3, Xbox and the PSP.

It’s so nice that Nintendo though about the connectivity of their users but this is not what we, the Wii users, want. What I want is more storage capacity for the Wii. I won’t stop asking for this until Nintendo gives in to this demand.

The Nintendo Wi-Fi Network Adapter will be available in Japan next week for 5,800 yen. There are no plans yet to release it to the other regions.
