Improved features on the final version of Opera Wii

Filed in archive Wii Online on March 28, 2007

The final version of the Opera browser for the Wii Internet Channel is but weeks away. Nintendo gathered their development team who worked with Opera Software for a chat about the improvements over the current trial version. Lots of tasty morsels of information were unearthed, such as an auto-hide toolbar, faster startup, and a vastly improved zoom feature. The programmers said that browsing the internet on the Wii is a social experience, so the final version supports multiple cursors (though only Player 1 can actually click anything).

Here are a few other small improvements to make our Wii browsing a little better:

Favorites page immediately accessible

Improved website compatibility

New and better scroll interface

Search button on the toolbar

URL text (www and com) easily accessible

Check out the full article for the whole chat, including pics!

Honestly, I first had negative opinions about the Internet Channel. But when I tried the Internet Channel with my son at home, we had a blast. He got really excited when I zoomed in on pictures of big commercial vehicles like a trash pick-up truck on the TV! (laughs) That made me realize that this could have only happened on a TV.
