Wii Getting Its Ethernet On

Got a DS dongle? The device will double as a Wii hotspot. Plug it into the USB port on your computer, and you're good to go. For the dongle-less, Nintendo will be releasing an Ethernet Kit, which will let users connect their consoles to a standard internet router. There were previous concerns that the console could only connect via WiFi due to the Wii's lack of an Ethernet port. Good to know, though why didn't Nintendo just add an Ethernet port?
