Nintendo just sent us a reminder (read: warning) that the Internet Channel for Wii will be a pay-to-surf affair in just a little over ten days. If you've been snoozing on your download of the Opera-powered browser, make sure you don't forget. In fact, do it right now. We'll wait. More »

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.

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 »

Nintendo has launched its official site for the Wii console. As of right now, only the Japanese version is functional. There are clips of the different "Wii Channels". There's the "Nigaoe Channel" ("Cariacture Channel") in which players can create in-Wii versions of themselves, friends and family. There's also the "New Channel," which has, well, news. And likewise, there's a "Weather Channel" with national and international forecasts. There are two more clips that Nintendo has yet to reveal, but up closer look at the "Wii Menu" clip, it's easy to see that there is a "Photo Channel" and an Opera-based "Internet Channel" as well.

That sounds like a critique, but really, it's just an observation of the limitations. Opera looks like they've made the experience of browsing on a Post-It sized screen as palatable as possible, but this would still become a browser of last resort for the likes of me.

Well, this is rather nifty. At a recent retail product fair in Japan, Nintendo announced a VoIP headset for the DS and DS Lite. It's set to go on sale in Japan around September 14th. Price? Only about $10, surprisingly. It's designed to allow you to engage in more comfortable, lower volume smack talk with your Metroid Prime: Hunters or Pokemon buddies. More »

Before I got the magic beams of WiFi invisibly oscillating through the air of my apartment, I couldn't have cared less about Opera for the DS. But now that my router is irradiating me with ominous WiFi beams (of which the full horrible knowledge of my future offspring's WiFi-related deformities I still remain blessedly unaware) I can't wait to give it a go. My mind constantly cogitates around a single question: How little can web browsing on the DS suck? More »

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.
