Wii's Opera Browser Now Downloadable

As we discussed earlier this week, the Opera browser for the Wii is available in a sort of trial form today. Game|Life has apparently been so taken with this offering, that they've redesigned their site so that it can be easily viewable via the Wii browser. They also have the official details on the download. From that article: "Nintendo is currently offering a free trial of Opera for Wii which is now available for download. The release of the final version of the Opera browser for Wii is currently scheduled for late March 2007. Opera for Wii will remain a free download until June 30, 2007. After June 30, Opera will be available for download from the Wii Shop Channel for 500 Wii points. Users who download Opera before June 30, 2007, can continue to use the browser at no cost for the lifetime of the Wii system." The release goes on to mention how you can develop for the browser, with helpful website links and references.

Typing is kinda tough but it suggests words, like a cell phone.

Now if you could switch between the browser and game without closing them out and going back to the Wii menu, that would make looking up a hint when you get stuck at Zelda a snap! I guess I'll continue to keep my wireless laptop on the couch beside me until then.
