The blue light shining out of the Nintendo Wii disc slot can only mean one thing, new stuff from Nintendo. Today sees the release of the full Opera internet browser (previously we been using a beta version). I could wibble on about it, but here is a video to explain it better than I ever will.

I found this video btw on youtube whilst browsing about using the Wii browser. Suprisingly easy to use actually, great for watching game reviews and other doings.

As I play the Wii on an Apple iMac using an Elgato EyeTV Hybrid, I have no real need for a web browser on the Wii when I can just minimize the Wii window and use Firefox to much better effect, it is none the less well implemented, and is running youtube videos happily in the background at the moment while I throw this stuff up from the iBook.

Opera browser for Wii is free through the Wii Shopping channel until June, at which point it will cost 500 Wii points (about a fiver?).
