recently Nintendo issued a somewhat strange statement, in which it warned fans that they should immediately stop using their pre-built hardware. He’s clearly not talking about his old console, though NES, SNES, N64, among others, as it refers to other peripherals that had slightly different uses.
Specifically mention the star connector USB Wi-Fi Nintendo (NTR-010) or Nintendo Wi-Fi Network Adapter (WAP-001)liberation in 2005 y 2008, respectively. Advising companies to discontinue their use due to safety concerns.
The alert comes from the official website Nintendo Japan, so there may be some missing details in the direct translation. However, it is clear that the Japanese company wants users to stop using these adapters.
Here is his statement as follows:
Regarding the ‘Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector (NTR-010)’ and ‘Nintendo Wi-Fi Network Adapter (WAP-001)’ network devices released by Nintendo Wi-Fi in 2005 and 2008, please stop using them. and switch to commercially available network devices.
