Topic: Broadband Adapter in Australia???

[Shadow Link]

Hey,

I was just wondering if the Broadband Adapter is out in Australia yet? (I dont think it is, According to Nintendo.com.au it is TBA)

As far as I know the Broadband Adapter is required for Lan play.

I was was thinking that I should get one seing as I now have Mario Kart: Double Dash .  Is this thing out now in Aus or is it ever coming out?..

[Infernal Monkey]

It should of come out today, but I didn't see it anywhere. Dude at EB had no idea, either. Maybe it'll mutate onto the shelves one day.

"HERE, HAVE THREE BBA'S, AUSTRALIA. I KNOW HOW YOU LIKE THEM EXTRA SLOPPY!"
'Lady, you're scaring us!'

(Quote from Nintendo.com.au)

Melbourne, Australia, November 14th, 2003 – The most anticipated title for the Nintendo GameCube®, Mario Kart™: Double Dash™, has launched Australia wide.

The Mushroom Kingdom just got a whole lot more hectic as Mario and company double up for furious kart racing, but this time they're driving two-seaters!  Pick a partner and race through wild courses as you compete in tough circuits or duke it out with power-ups and items in battle arenas.  

Features
· Double the fun!  Each kart holds two racers that can switch places at any time. Choose from a huge cast of favorites,  like: Luigi, Peach, Baby Mario, Baby Luigi, Wario and many more, and pair them up in any combination.  The character in front handles the driving duties, while the character in the rear doles out damage with six different items plus eight special items that only specific characters can use.
· Reach new levels of frenzy with four-player mayhem, as each player controls two characters as they speed through Mushroom Kingdom courses.
· Place first in racing circuits to open up progressively more difficult circuits.  Of course, you can have multiplayer races on any open courses or battle in arenas.
· Link the game with eight other players using a broadband adapter and race each other side-by-side using multiple game systems and multiple televisions!

They wouldent mention the Broadband Adapter like that without releasing it.  Its gotta be out soon.

my theory on the subject is, it will be like the componant cables and SP headphones, only available from nintendo directly, also says in the very back of the MKDD book to contact Nintendo Australia regarding the BBA.

Are all the Broadband Adapters the same?  Because Ill import one from the US if I have to.

[PIAC]

yep, can't really make a region lock for a modem ditto for controllers and memory cards (i think), so yeah import away. if the BBA isn't available by the time WPP or Kai is available then i'll prolly import.

www.nintendo.com.au (aka the Australian Nintendo site), doesn't have a store section.

I do not know if Gamestop does international shipping but they have some and they are 10 dollars cheaper than any import store

nintendo have a number to ring to get stuff, just ring and ask

[alvinaloy]

Yup. Hardware peripherals do not have region coding (even the GB Player but that needs the region coded boot disk). I'm living in Singapore, playing on an American Cube and using a Japanese BBA, controllers and memory cards. Try importing Japanese peripherals if you are in Australia. Much cheaper than importing them from the States.
