man, bout time Nintendo started doin online stuff. let's hope smash bros is online or i'll detonate a bomb @ nintendo's headquarters
It will be. I heard it was confirmed.

I haven't gotten my hands on a Wii, nor have I seen the browser... I want to see it so bad.
 
It's nothing too exciting. It's just a browser. A bunch of sites are starting to become formatted to be friendly with the Wii, I've heard; even some porn sites apparently. The trial browser is a neat novelty, but it's mostly useless as far as I'm concerned - My TV is right next to my computer monitor, and... I have a computer. While it's kind of cumbersome to type with, I occasionally find myself browsing gametab or something with the Wii. If Nintendo is serious about having this browser thing, supporting USB keyboards would be nice, I think.

lol actually i dont even have a wii but i find it funny how the censor-it-all Nintendo will probably be attacked for allowing porn access to children, wait n see, ppl bitch bout everything, even pokemon lmfao
 
TBM - I fully agree about the keyboard issue. They have the ports, why not use them, right?

I have the Nintendo WIFI USB adapter, so it's nice that I can be browsing the internet while my wife is on the laptop. Other than that, I don't use the browser that much, unless my laptop is packed up and I want to check something real quick. Still a great feature nonetheless, but Virtual Console is definitely the best part of Nintendo's online venture thus far.
 
I already downloaded it a few days ago.
It's certainly not meant to browse the internet for hours, but I found it useful to have for searching faqs and codes/secret on gamefaqs.

e.g. I'm searching for the ghosts in Zelda TP and there's a map showing where they are on gamefaqs. So I could just look at it using my wii rather than turning my comp on...
 
Browser? That is cool because my comp is not in my room, so now I can basically have my own little browser in my room. Excellent. =)
