Currently the wireless adapter will only be available for purchase from the Nintendo.com website, but when Metroid Prime Hunters is ready to go Nintendo will reportedly back that launch up by releasing the USB adapter to retail.

Well, they're eventually releasing it for retail.

Maybe they want to be sure that Wi-Fi connection even takes off before they start selling the dongle.

That's always a possibility, but I feel it's somewhat dumb to wait until your second big online release (which is more than a month away) before releasing the adaptor to retail.

Well, but with the hot spots and proliferation of home wireless networks it's not a completely stupid move.

But it does seem like they should release it a lot sooner than a month.

That's exactly what I'm afraid of.
I don't want to import something from the USA, since this could be pretty expensive when I live in Europe..

I think Nintendo of Europe plans on selling it online. It's not the same as buying it in a retail store, but it should be significantly cheaper than a US import.

Well, at least something. I guess I'll have the ultimate fun-package until the tournament ^^

Whadja come out here for? Group: Members Posts: 2391 Member No.: 32 Joined: 13-October 03 Status: (0d)	What is the official Kart list? I heard there are 36 Karts in all. I heard that characters at first only have two carts each, then three, then seven, then all of them, so which karts belong to chaacters as the game progresses? Here's a list of Karts I can remember: 1. Poltergust Kart 2. Rambi Kart 3. Koopa Clown Cart 4. Wario Car 5. Disk Kart (the kart R.O.B. and Wario are seen riding on) -------------------- "THIS KONGS ONE HELL OF A GUY!
