If you participate in the test, you'll get a neat little bonus from Nintendo.
Nintendo has been pretty quiet about how their upcoming Nintendo Wi-fi Connection service will work. Aside from reports about a special PC USB adaptor to make the transition to wireless, not much else is known about it. While Nintendo hasn't announced anything new about the service, they are asking for the public's help to make sure it hits the airwaves in tip-top shape.
The Nintendo of America website has a new page up that asks registered My Nintendo members to participate in a Internet connection survey and test. The test requires that participants download and run a small program, answer a few questions about the type of Internet access and router setup the user has, and then wait for about 10 minutes as the application runs some tests in the background. Once completed, the program displays the data collected and asks you to submit the info, which appears to go directly to Nintendo in Japan.
The program isn't just for analyzing a computer's setup, though. As a special present for participating in the test, you'll score a sweet Animal Crossing desktop clock. It looks just like the clock and calendar combo always displayed on the screen while playing Animal Crossing!
If you want to help Nintendo make sure their wireless DS network is ready to go, make sure you're registered at Nintendo.com, then hit this page and score your nifty Animal Crossing clock.
