Nintendo is set to release its own brand of WiFi adapter to general consumers this month. The new Nintendo WiFi network adapter will be released in Japan this coming September 18 and will probably see a US release in the coming months.

Nintendo’s decision to release it’s $53 adapter has left many people scratching their heads especially since there are just so many products out there that fulfill the same functions. What it does offer though is a very unique simplicity in setup. The product can communicate with a number of WiFi enabled gadgets, including PCs and other game consoles. There is also a “bridge” feature that serves the function of interpreting signals from the Nintendo console to the router.

I am pretty sure the Nintendo fans will lap up this gadget just like any other Nintendo branded product.
