Beta Opera Browser for Wii to be released this Friday

will we be using our own internet like a regular computer browser or is it doing all of the browsing through nintendo
 
not sure what you mean by "browsing through nintendo"

it supports java, flash and some other shit....

this is the beta running

actually i was thinking it was a little different

i think nintendo is giving away the beta for free until june, after that it might be disabled and they want you to buy the full software
 
why the fuck would anyone buy a browser for the Wii if they can hope over to their computer and do it A LOT EASIER AND FOR FREE
 
The web browser is free until June of next year. I know one thing I'll use it for, being able to watch a football game while my Wii has Opera open on Yahoo or CBS Sportsline tracking fantasy football scores and stats.

I think there's a lot more use to having a web browser on your TV and being able to surf with the remote than people think. It's going to be pretty cool if you ask me.
 
I don't get it. Are we free to browse until June, then we have to cough up $5? Or do we grab the browser sometime between March and May and get it for free and never have to worry about being charged later?
 
I'm sure during the beta testing stages (up until march) Wii users get to use Opera for free. Then come June you have to pony up 500 wii points to get the full version.
 
$5 for a peice of software, not bad. And although when I'm at home I would more than likely just browse the internet with my computer, if I take my Wii on the road with me and can join on to someone's wireless network, then I get a free browser

I really hope MSN or AIM capitalises by coming out with a version for the wii.
