I'm still wishing that Nintendo would also provide a standard Ethernet
port.  The WiFi option is nice for some things, but the simplicity of
a cat-5 cable is nice too.  Plus, despite how cheap routers can be, why
insist on your customers having one?  The $29.99 spent on that could be 
spent on another game.

Or, do I see some Nintendo-brand Wifi routers in the future?
