Official Nintendo Discussion Thread - Holding onto Brawl.

No, I played all of it, non stop.

But one question. Does anybody here have the USB WiFi adaptor? Because, I know Nintendo stopped making them. And I heard because there was problems with it on the firewall on the pc, and such. And I also heard that they stopped making them because the company they teamed up with, canceled their agreement on it. If anybody has an adaptor, is there any problems with it?

I haven't heard anything about that until now even though I don't have the Wi-Fi connection here's what Wikipedia had to say:

The Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector has been discontinued until further notice, as said on the official Nintendo website.
While not actually a fault with the Wi-Fi USB Connector itself, due to the nature of the device, a software firewall installed on the computer hosting the Wi-Fi USB Connector will interfere with its operation. To alleviate this issue, the user must allow the software full access to the Internet, or manually specify acceptable port ranges to allow through the firewall; depending on how that particular firewall is configured.
Unfortunately, some firewall products (like ZoneAlarm) are incompatible with the Wi-Fi USB Connector software and must be either uninstalled or disabled, leaving the computer open to possible attack from external sources. The user's only option in this scenario is to risk connecting to the Internet unprotected, or install a different firewall product.

... two things.
a) did they have to discontinue it all together?
b) good thing I don't have a firewall or anything on this computer

[Haku]

I have no idea why they would want to discontinue it but here:| Nintendo - Customer Service | Your Nintendo Wi-Fi - Firewalls/Antivirus/Antispyware/Adware Compatibility Info it mainly tells about the trusted Firewall applications and the one mentioned like Zone Alarm that won't work for it. Even if I did have Wi-Fi this won't apply to me since I don't use the Zone Alarm internet security application that they mentioned.

I have a Nintendo WiFi USB Connector. Don't really use it anymore though, since I have WiFi now. I didn't know they stopped making them.

[Shadow Soulja]

Did the Wifi Connector work fine for you?

[All-Star Gamer]

The little antennea that plugs into a USB port and looks kinda like a flash stick right? I'm actually dissapointed with it. It's given me trouble in the past, and when it's set up, it doesn't even give you that good of a reception. Waste of money if you ask me.

depends on what computer i used it on. for some reason it worked with some computers and not with others, despite the fact that they were all connected to the internet.

[Haku]

It probably depended on what your Firewall settings were on those different computers.

[All-Star Gamer]

I allways turn off the firewall when I use it, and it still didn't work that well...

[Haku]

But you do realize that not having Firewall on you run a risk of getting a spyware package, that's probably the main reason why they discontinued the USB Connector since some Firewall products don't work with the connector.

[All-Star Gamer]

I know that. That's why I never went onto the internet while I was messing with the connector and my DS.

Ugh I hate that Luigi's mansion galaxy 4 part level GAH so friggen hard, not the first one but the second and then you find the way to the secret star and that was super hard.

[Haku]

The Beware of Bouldergeist Daredevil comet took me awhile to fiinish, but overall none of the Ghostly Galaxy stars were really that hard for me.

How does leaving the Wii on charge the Wiimotes?

And regarding the Wi-Fi topic, I don't have the official Nintendo one, but instead some other brand. I worked really well for awhile, despite taking two or more tries to establish a good connection, but it just stopped working for some reason.
