Yup. The Nintendo DS' Wi-Fi sucks if you don't have wireless Internet. I want to put my DS to good use by playing Metroid Prime Hunters online, but nanna can't afford wireless Internet or a Wi-Fi adapter. Plus, there's no Wi-Fi Hot Spots where I live, and I can't get to Adelaide to find one. Any other DS owners having this problem?

No...but how can't you afford a USB adaptor? Just buy one off Nintendo's site.

It's $50AUD and no one in my family can afford it. Plus, none of my family will purchase things online.

I already have a Nintendo WiFi USB Connector for my Wii. Ill have no problem with online once I get my Wii. And yeah, you cant afford any wireless device after you bought a $150 handheld?

Can I add that this problem is pretty unavoidable. If you want any online with handhelds youll need to buy something. Same for PSP. Unless you go to Starbucks or something everytime you wanna play, you need to buy a router thats around $50 to play online.

Just a few things...

I didn't get my DS, my mum did.

I live in Australia, and there's no gaming stores here.

No one in my family can afford to get a USB adapter for me.

And last but not least, I have no friends to ask for one.

At EB it cost $40 US, trying going to a game store. They might have the USB port ones behind the counter.

Well, his  issues don`t have anything to do with NWC, but mines do, i don`t like the fact that when one player disconnects the entire Match7Race/Whatever goes right down to the sink, and the long wait to be paired too, i find that annoying while playing Star Fox Comannd Wi-Fi, one guy drops out and the game just goes to zh!+, that`s hy i don`t play DS Wi-Fi anymore

And not that i want to troll, but PSP games are SUPERIOR in the Online Department, you have a Game Lobby, where you can interact with players, view their rank, manage your Buddy/Black list, and select which game to enter, instead of the Randomness of the DS Games ( i know that Mario kart and Star Fox Command are like that, correct me if there are other games that DO let you choose who and who to play with, besides the " Friends Only"), and the most important, if you leave the game, you just leave it, you don`t ruin it for everyone, the game goes on regardless you are there or not, unlike Star Fox Command, where one guy leaves and the game and the long wait simply is RUINED.
