Wii Internet Browser Released! :D

This is poster yuri2356, reporting live from the Opera-powered browser on Nintendo's next-gen console.

All I can say is, "I wish I had a keyboard!"

Still, it's much easier than trying to type with a normal controller...

Wait, you can actually post here using a Wii?

Opera on Wii?! *grrrr*

Its time for Firefox to get off it's kester and make Firefox for wii.

Heh, WiiFox

 

[GoodEnoughForMe]

I will have to try this out tomorrow.

You've got that right, old chum. In fact, it's how I'm writing this reply! There are a few features worked in to help ease up the typing of longer words, but it still takes a good deal of practice to get going at a reasonable speed. Overall, it's a pretty decent way to browse.

 

[Maniacal]

Opera FTW!

 

[GoodEnoughForMe]

It's a really basic but usable browser.

 

[Maniacal]

FEAKY. Goodenough, you posted exactly 24 hours after your previous post!

I'm sure Opera Wii will get upgraded.

 

[Yuri2356]

Yeah, for now it's just the trial version. An unknown number of extra features will be part of the full thing.

 

[GenMarshall]

I don't see the big deal about Opera.

 

[potatokiosk]

I don't think it's the type of browser that matters so much as the fact that you can download it onto a game console that has a weird remote thing.

 

[Hitti-Litti]

Ehe. Wipera.

Heh. Heh heh.



Oh, heh, that was lame...

How do I get the Wii Internet Browser working on my Wii?

Head to the Shop channel, and it'll be under "Wii Wear".

(I'm assuming that you've already gotten the console connected to ye olde interwebe.)

Ah, i see they chose the best.

 

[Thunderfall]

That's cool.

I heard it's free until about June. By the time I get a wireless internet connection it'll probably be June.

I'm using Opera on my computer. It crashes frequently, but not as much as the other browsers I used.

 

[potatokiosk]

Personally, I prefer Firefox.

 

[GoodEnoughForMe]

^^ Same here. The whole Wii Browser isn't that great, a keyboard is much better. I just want the games.

The Wii browser is a beta. The full version comes in March.
