Make Your Site Wii-Friendly

Kim Phu — Thu, 07 Jun 2007 13:40:00 EDT

Opera, the browser of choice for the Wii, has come out with a handy guide on how to adjust your websites to be picture perfect when being browsed by the Nintendo console. On top of some general specs that are more detailed (that you've probably figured out by now, for example, the Wii browser only has Flash support up to 7, and browser window size requirements), it also goes into detail (sometimes with code) on how you may be able to get your website to load. Of course, it's a pretty dense read, and anyone who is a novice at programming won't understand some of it. However, it is kind of a fun, geeky read for people who want to know how it all works.

Opera Waits For Orders From Nintendo

Brian Ashcraft — Wed, 10 Jan 2007 05:22:27 EST

What's the final version the Opera browser for the Wii like? Don't ask Opera reps, they don't know reports Wired's Chris Kohler. Of course, they'd love to add things like widget support and tabbed browsing, but it's not exactly Opera's decision to make. It's Nintendo's. And why isn't the Opera browser for the DS out in America? Once again, that's up to Nintendo. So, the point of involving Opera was what again? Brian Ashcraft More »

DS Opera Browser Coming Soon

brownlee — Thu, 30 Mar 2006 08:40:32 EST

It's official: the Opera Internet Browser is coming to the Nintendo DS in June 2006 for Japan.We don't quite get this. Even using a web browser on most Pocket PCs is an excruciating ordeal. Visiting simple sites on a baseball card sized screen is like trying to remove your wisdom teeth by head-butting a doorknob: definitely painful and not the most efficient way to do things. Shrink that screen down to the size of a postage stamp and it looks like you're going to pay $40 bucks merely for what you could alreadyon your DS for free: not read the Internet web sites you want to read.Still, Opera is a very cool web browser and we're intrigued to see what solutions they can come up with to make web browsing on the DS viable. Let's keep our fingers crossed.Opera Due in December [4 Color Rebellion] More »
