Wii Browser Available for Download

All of you who own a Nintendo Wii should have woken up to a flashing blue light. The message, which the light indicates (c'mon you don't have a Wii?), was sent by the big N to tell you that the free trial of the Wii's Opera browser is available for download.

The browser is very simple to use and has a very convenient favorites button so you don't have to use the Wiimote to type in your favorite sites because, although novel, typing with the Wiimote is not fast or fun.

Typing is alright if you know where all the keys are and most I'm sure do. Quick and painless if you've been messing around with the Wii Remote for a month now. Anyways the websites load up pretty quick went to msn cuz that has a lot of stuff to load up and that was fast and youtube works fine. Checked my e-mail and that's all I had time for. In the end it's a nice feature to have and I'll probable use it because I like my sofa, it's very comfortable and surfing the web is easy and then I can stop and get a game going without much added work.

I'm entering this comment from the Wii browser right now! It's actually better than I expected, but It's not replacing Lappy. It's fun to watch H*R on my TV, though

Why the Wii is Such a Nostalgic System in 2026

The Wii is now a retro console. Let’s get nostalgic about an often maligned system.

Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.

My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.

Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.

Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.

This game along with Rogue Squadron got me into to Star Wars. The release of special edition VHS Star Wars collection was perfectly times on top of all that. 😆

Because it is.

Please re-release this.

SimpleSlave79d ago (Edited 79d ago )

But it wasn't. Although I do agree that some of the tie-in media, like the novels and comics, were pretty good.

Still, games like Dark Forces, Jedi Knight, Rogue Squadron, and the space sims were peak 90s Star Wars. Shadows fell flat because of the abysmal controls and unimaginative levels. And if you wanted to really experience the seedy side of the universe, Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2 was peak, and it wasn't even close.

Regardless, and much to my dismay, we got the better version thanks to Ubislop in Outlaws, which is what Shadows should've been, albeit at a smaller scale.

As a kid me and my cousins loved this game . I have great memories with this one and the Star Wars pod racer game .
