How to Connect the DSi to the Wii

The DSi and the Wii are both made by Nintendo. If you own both of these gaming devices, you can connect them together via the DS's Wi-Fi Connection. Some games, such as those in the "Animal Crossing" series, operate on both systems. These games allow you to transfer data from one game to the other.
