Some people might recognize the company Buffalo as the people who worked with Nintendo on the Nintendo USB Connector. The USB connector made getting online with the Wii or DS much easier, as long as you had a computer running on Windows XP, that is. But now Buffalo is set to release the WiFi Gamer, which makes getting online easier than ever.

To capitalize on this already inherent system capability, Buffalo will be releasing the Buffalo Wi-Fi Gamer device in the US next month, and the company stopped by our office to show how it works. This wireless adapter, about the size of a pack of cards, doesn't need a PC at all - it simply plugs into an available port on an existing LAN. Once connected, you just press the "connect" button on the unit, then the AOSS function on the DS, PSP, PS3 and Wii, and after about 45 seconds of syncing up the game systems are connected and ready to go online.

    That's pretty cool. There's some places where I go that don't have Internet access that it would be useful to check my email and stuff from my DS.

    Very good, Wi-Fi will be a little easier now, and so will the DS browser.
