Wii Browser Now Ready

[Damien]

For those of you with Nintendo Wii's, Opera and Nintendo have released a test version of their browser availble for free from the Wii Shop Channel.

I have tested it and its actually quite good considering its on a console and a TV. The Wii remote makes it quite handy, it does not full my big TV though and the text is very small (although you can zoom in). Best of all youtube and such work so you can watch youtube on your TV!

Bear in mind its a test version but its looking very good!

Test version and not going to be free after next June either
Opera Software today announced details on its browser for Nintendo’s soon-to-be released game console, Wii. Opera’s full Web browser is available for download from the “Wii Shop Channel”. Nintendo has stated that they will offer Opera free of charge as a temporary promotion for all Wii users until June 2007.

IT will be free if you get it in time.....I read somewhere can't remember where tho but Opera is expected to be released in full in march and you can download the full program until june for free. After june it will cost you 500 wii points. SO if you download it between March and June it is free.
