Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection - Download Software Test

Nintendo is sending out emails to all My Nintendo subscribers, asking them to download a simple program.

This tests what internet connection you are using to give Nintendo technicians some information on how games are hooked up to the internet. This will help in the making of the WiFi service the DS will have later this fall.

The program is basically just an Animal Crossing clock in the corner of your screen. When you see that clock, feel great about yourself that Nintendo of America is currently performing a test on your internet connection. After it's done, submit the data it tells you into the survey and Presto, your done.

Mario Kart DS and Animal Crossing DS are two games that will support it.

If you are subscribed to Nintendo of America, click here to take the test, then get a free Animal Crossing clock. It will also transmit information to Nintendo to help to setup there Wi-Fi, no personal information will be given!

  i just asked skarma about this, then he blocks me and posts it, so i was alittle mad, and sry, i dont like reading fine print, so if i can cuss tell me, but this is europe where the F word people use to say hello, or part of europe anyways............... In the US, we cant say it as much, i just assumed you guys were ok, but i guess "kids" go on here too much for me to be posting comments as offensive as that.
