Where did you get this from? It's cool as hell but I need some proof of how real it is.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #2 on:** January 27, 2005, 01:16:47 PM »

I'm willing to bet that's fake...

mT3 · « **Reply #6 on:** January 27, 2005, 01:36:10 PM »

norebonomis · « **Reply #7 on:** January 27, 2005, 01:37:23 PM »

presumably. maybe with added DemaSked software.

Savior · « **Reply #8 on:** January 27, 2005, 01:55:42 PM »

So you hook it to a computer? Its kind of odd.. i thought you just needed a Wireless router.. i think its fake too

Hostile Creation · « **Reply #9 on:** January 27, 2005, 02:02:00 PM »

I'm willing to bet it's fake, but we'll see. I'm not that into online gaming anyway, but it would be cool to play with some other friends with a DS. And if I get bored, I've never tried Nintendo online.

Bloodworth · « **Reply #10 on:** January 27, 2005, 04:32:49 PM »

looks really freaking fake

indeed

Polyethylene · « **Reply #12 on:** January 27, 2005, 05:38:23 PM »

That's fake, if not, then it's just poinless.

Funny how...
Nintendo DS is NOT Wi-Fi certified by the Wi-Fi Alliance.
(Nintendo simply modified slight things and didn't submit the product...presumably for piracy reasons they don't want it fully interoperable until they are ready.. who knows what they are doing... this doesn't mean it doesn't have Wi-Fi though cause it does).

Besides that just looks like a wireless access point for a router with a Nintendo logo.. This doesn't make sense at all... Where does a PC come into play? The DS can get signals straight from a router. This is like saying signal goes from router, to this device, into PC, back out through device to DS? o_O
Or perhaps it's just a device to wirelessly upload junk to a computer... OR more likely...
You plug it into a computer with internet connection (wether direct connection or over a wireless LAN) and this card thing broadcasts it out to the DS (and ONLY this card, not just a router... this explains why Nintendo didn't get the DS Wi-Fi certified... BUT THIS device would have to be wi-fi certified because it has to work with any PC configuration..)
Weird... That would elimated hotspots. It's not like you can go into starbucks and say hey, I gotta plug this into your server!

I was expecting something like a GBA cart (or something plugging into GBA slot) that "unlocks" online play and has online play software and junk.. Then all you need is an unencrypted router...

Savior · « **Reply #14 on:** January 27, 2005, 06:08:48 PM »

The DS is already WIFI enabled... to me that looked like a cheaper alternative to those 5 people with broadband but no wireless router... but realisticallly its unenecary if it isnt.

Noble~Feather · « **Reply #15 on:** January 27, 2005, 06:10:07 PM »

This is fake. The DS logo is photoshopped on there.

DS is going online (and I thought they were going to announce that today... poopy) but not that way.

Gamefreak · « **Reply #16 on:** January 27, 2005, 06:12:56 PM »

Guess what I just noticed... it sort of looks like a top down view of a closed DS lol...

Bloodworth · « **Reply #17 on:** January 27, 2005, 06:24:44 PM »

just noticed? All they did was tape on a USB port to a picture of the DS

Gamefreak · « **Reply #18 on:** January 27, 2005, 06:36:27 PM »

Well I haven't bought a DS yet so yeah I'm not quite so used to as what it looks like from the top...

norebonomis · « **Reply #19 on:** January 27, 2005, 07:54:36 PM »

same image inverted, (this often clues people into photoshop fakery) and it still looks legin to me.

KDR_11k · « **Reply #20 on:** January 28, 2005, 01:29:15 AM »

It looks instable, I wouldn't want to attach something with its center of mass that far away from the plug to my USB ports. Besides, all of my USB ports are taken and that thing looks like it'd block any nearby ports as well.

UncleBob · « **Reply #21 on:** January 28, 2005, 02:22:35 AM »

The shape/size of the unit isn't really a concern for me - it looks like some bluetooth wireless adaptors (something like what you'd plug in to a USB port on your PC that would let you communicate with a palm pilot or mobile phone)...

However, I don't think this can be linked to DemaSked - because, supposedly, DemaSked isn't supposed to cost us anything more than the price of the DS - and something tells me that I won't be able to call Nintendo and get me one of these for free...

Of course, that doesn't really mean anything...

Rhoq · « **Reply #22 on:** January 28, 2005, 05:01:52 AM »

If it's real, I'd be willing to bet that this USB interface would be for those users without a wireless router. They'd be able to connect (wirelessly) through this USB basestation - connected to their PC or Mac via an available USB port.

thepoga · « **Reply #23 on:** January 28, 2005, 09:04:28 AM »

The requirement for one of the big features of the DS without something like this would be a wireless router, and broadband. People with this could maybe go on with a 56K, or broadband connection without a wireless router. They're aren't enough people with DS's who have a wireless router. So this would boost the userbase of the online DS's.

That's assuming if this is real. Or its just some way to connect your DS to your computer. If it isn't real, something like this should be. I actually the picture's a fake though.

If you look closely at the Nintendo DS logo, you can tell that it was obviously photoshopped on.
