Time ticking for free Wii Opera browsing


If you are not yet fully accustomed with the Nintendo Wii’s opera web browser, now be a very good time to do so, as it may not be available for free for very much longer.

Kotaku is reporting that they had received an e-mail from Nintendo, warning them that the zero-cost availability of the full Internet browser is coming to an end, with the firm planning to start charging users to download the software from July onwards.

Early reports suggested the price to download the web surfing will be 500 Wii Points - not a huge amount, granted, but you don’t get a lot for free, so if you are still currently Opera browser-less, we suggest that you head over to the Wii Shop Channel quick smart in order to bag it.

And if you’ve not updated from the trial to the full version, you really should do, because it includes the following additional features:

* Improved zooming and scrolling
* An improved zoomed font
* Shortened startup time
* Quicker access to “favorites”
* An option to auto-hide the obtrusive toolbar
* Buttons that will instantly type common preset letters, such as “www” or “.com”

It might not be the quickest and most efficient way to navigate your way through cyberspace, heck, you may never even use it, but if nothing else it fills up another of those dreadfully depressing empty Wii Channel screens.

…What are you waiting for?

What makes you think that? Nintendo signed an exclusive deal With opera to be the browser available on the Wii...same reason Opera also makes the DS browser... I doubt firefox is coming to the Wii...

they need to add so much stuff to the browser to even make it really cool like...

Copy & Paste...
ability to download the newest Shockwave & Java console updates...
Tabbed Browsing...
Compatibility with Outlook to sync your email account...
Microsoft Office would be lovely
