It goes into the computer right?I think I saw one at Best Buy for about $30, so I may go pick one up

You can probably find a wireless router (which is better) cheaper than that.

My wireless router was $2. Just wait for a sale on one.

Actually there is a "USB thingie" as well and its called a Nintendo LAN Adapter. Here's a link to one http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....=1164157285316

I can't stand the spike/lag of wireless stuff(I play tons of games where spike/lag really matter, even in milliseconds), so I may not get a DS/Pokemon Pearl in this case. Come to think of it, the main reason I wanted it was to play an official Pokemon game online.

Aw... lag really doesn't matter in this though, since there's no online realtime activity. Milliseconds of lag isn't worrisome when it's turn-based battle or trade.

Yeah, but I'm already buying a DS JUST for this thing.

I'd need to get a wireless connection, which means I'd have to pay MORE.

Try at EB Games or Gamestop for the DS. I got Pokemon Pearl for $30 ($33 with tax) at K-Mart.

Quick question: If I have a wireless router on my computer will the DS recognise that and let me have wireless usage, or do I need another wireless router for it specifically?

Also, I might actually be getting one of these. They are starting to interest me more than the Wii. Pink, of course. There is a deal to get a DS Lite + Essentials pack + 1 game + AC adaptor for £120.

The DS can connect to most any router unless you have the firewall really strict (I had this problem with my college wireless).

Also, a thing to keep in mind is that if your wireless router is secured, use WEP and not WPA. DS doesn't support WPA.

**TheRapingDragon** · 05-19-2007, 04:30 PM

No problem. Cheers for that. I'm buying one on Monday.

I'm still considering this, but I really don't want to get a wireless router just to play this game. I have no other use for it...
