A year ago, Nintendo was the long-shot underdog of game consoles, but my son Eric insisted that the Nintendo Revolution (as it was known then) would be a winner. And he was right. The more I see of this product, the more impressed I am by it.
Wii Web access is done via WiFi. There are various channels dedicated to a single feature, including weather and, starting yesterday, news. But there’s also a customized version of the Opera browser.
I’ll try to get an A/V capture of the Wii while it’s browsing my blog. Everything except the video player seems to work. YouTube videos play pretty well, so I’ll assume my Flash player is incompatible with Opera. Eric has just used the Wii to enter a comment. Click here to see.
