The Wii and the DS handheld both have Wi-Fi already, both of which will work with any existing router. Perhaps the name will give us a clue: “Nintendo WiFi Network Adapter”. Some Nintendo users report difficulty in connecting to their wireless networks, and this box could be intended to hook up to your regular home router and provide a Nintendo-friendly signal. The three-position switch on the back adds credibility to this notion — you can select either Router, Bridge or Auto.

These same perplexed gamers are wondering why the big N’s R&D time has gone into this, rather than a hard drive for the Wii. A strange choice, to be sure, but not unprecedented. Apple has been selling Airport routers for years, and they are pretty much guaranteed to work with a Mac out of the box. For home gamers seeking an easy solution, Nintendo’s ¥5,800 (US$53) box might be just the thing.

As soon as the points get in contact with the pad, the energy is transferred from the pad to the electronic device. Such direct contact allows for a very efficient and safe power transfer without generating harmful radiation or magnetic fields. You can check out for more details at Wildcharge.com.

For those of you who are not familiar with the WiiFit, it is a pressure sensitive balance board that allows users to exercise with aerobic, toning, and balance activities, all “supervised” by a virtual trainer.
Not only will the WiiFit do exercise-based games like push-ups, but there are other games that are fun for all ages. For example, a user can wiggle to a virtual hula hoop or play a soccer goalie who is blocking shots with his or her head.

In short, the WiiFit is the best way to get video game players off of the couch since the invention of WiiSports. No doubt Jane Fonda would have sponsored the WiiFit if it had been invented during the time of the Atari 2600. Nintendo has officially announced that the WiiFit will be released on May 19th.
