C3 Exclusive Interview | Opera's Nintendo Wii Browser

I love orange ^^;

If you don't believe me though, if you have any editions of NGC go back a couple of years or so and look in the section where they review hardware. And look on the right.

I admit there are some great 3rd party controllers out there, but generally there so many shit ones, there lways generic and look the same as each other or there replaced by instore ones and theres so many diffrent brand names, I just play it safe and stick with official pads.

Really... It's not as great as you make it seem >_> For a start the D-pad sucks on it, and the c-stick isn't much better. It's bigger but I didn't think it felt as nice. The actual shape of it isn't as good as the original either, but then not everyone has the same hands...

Generally 3rd party controller suck though you must admit... My crappy GAME pads are testiment to that *shudders*

Is this the secret source was mentioned about the possible 6th November launch?

Even if it isn't the source, November is looking more and more like it will be the launch period.

How many games use the D-Pad though?

And meh, I like it, so I shall use it. BWAHHAH *cough*

Nope, although it does tie in quite nicely. Really glad we got back some really excellent answers, always nice to see

Yeah, he seemed a bit miffed that he was asked if Opera would be coming bundled with Wii about four times...

cant wait if it can be linked with the DS version that wud be hot well see wont we

Best to be sure.

AWESOMENESS COOL!

this sounds PIMP!

Quite. The first console since the DC to offer internet from the box. Here's hoping the browser beats Dreamkey

Indeed (Dreamcast FTW BTW). I hope they keep lots of the features of Opera, like the built in email and chat client.

I fire up Dreamkey 3 every now and then for the sake of it, I think I posted from it here once. Took about half an our to type, having no keyboard.

I use this free dial-up ISP: http://www.smartemail.co.uk/

Great news, great interview, it was rumoured that it'd all be built in and now it's all nice and fully confirmed.

I hope they include a keyboard of some sort, using a keyboard and the Wiimote as a mouse would probably work excellently!

I used freeserve with it and it was all rather good. Waited ages for dreamkey 2.5 and 3 though and the upgrade offered no upgrade in functionality and 60% of websites were still inaccessible.

Yeah everything is displayed wrong but who cares? It's internet and SEGA on your telly!

I'm going to go and make some JSR graffiti on paint.

It isn't just that, you couldn't view any site with flash on it and they did away with the dreamarena

they should make keyboaurd for wii

Meh...I'll just stick with the DS browser...Should be easier to use

Great interview!!! And it got confirmed that you can use it straight out the box!!! Great news!!
Most of you are saying you cant use the Wii-mote to type imgaine using a PS3 controller!!!!
Anyway you know there is gonna be a Keyboard for Wii there was one for GC which it didnt even have a web browser!!! Nintey could make one of those folded keyboards wich PC gamers use!!!!

I use Opera since Version 5. It is a very small and fast browser. Yes, it handles almost every website very well and has a wide range of css and html (and followers) supported. It levels with Firefox on that.

Mouse Gestures itself are great and easy to use. You grab the mouse, press right button and move it to the left for one side back - and so on. That's easy to implement for Wiimote.
I Absolute love Opera and if a website is written according to standard, there are no problems with displaying it right. Cubed3 works fantastic with this browser.


There are some wonderful news here. First, this man is very keen to answer the questions we are asking ourself - price, release-date, questions with the browser itself... So great interview, guys!

Yeah, nice interview.

Still wondering how the hell typing will be handled on the Wii... If there isn't a keyboard...hm...

This new Opera will be so good and has built in wireless internet 802.11/g it might even sell out ps3 and xbox360

But can you use AIM or Email on it if you can that would be the best system ever made.lol
