Nintendo Announces WiFi Router for Wii/DS

New adapter will "streamline" the process of getting your Wii online.

Befuddled housewives anxious to download Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People need no longer worry. Nintendo has announced the Nintendo WiFi Network Adapter, due to arrive in Japan September 18.

Kotaku is reporting that the WiFi Network Adapter can serve as a router, or become a "bridge" for an existing router. It can also be set to "Auto," which will automatically switch over the household's network. Wii owners, consider your online experience streamlined.

The adapter will be available for ¥5,800 (USD $53) on Nintendo's homepage, and can be used with both the Wii and the Nintendo DS. No word on whether it's due to come out to America, but we'll count it as "likely." For Wii owners who haven't yet figured out how to access the splendors of Everybody Votes, will this be enough to push you online?
