I just got the call my friends. Mark your calendars! October 9th, for one day only, Gamestop will be taking preorders on Nintendo’s forthcoming console Wii. You heard it here first gamers. GET READY!!
Apparently Gamestop employees have received an email today regarding the preorder issue. Not too many details were given other than the 9th of October is going to be the magic date.
Opera Software today announced details on its browser for Nintendos soon-to-be released game console, Wii. Operas full Web browser is available for download from the Wii Shop Channel. Nintendo has stated that they will offer Opera free of charge as a temporary promotion for all Wii users until June 2007.
Wii
From July 2007, users can purchase the Opera browser using Wii points. Wii points are credits users can buy that allow them to add new games or the Opera browser to their Wii consoles. The number of Wii points required to purchase Opera has not yet been announced.
With support for Flash and AJAX-based content such as Google maps, Wii users will benefit from a feature-rich Internet experience that is uniquely customized for the Wii. Opera for Wii boasts the same complete standards support as the Opera 9 Desktop browser, and includes the added functionality of Zoom and Bookmarks. The Wii remote control will also be an integral part of browsing, allowing users to intuitively control the Web with their Wii remotes.
Nintendo has previously announced that Wii will be available in the U.S. on November 19, 2006, Japan on December 2, 2006, and in Europe on December 8, 2006. The cost for the console is $249.99 or 25,000 Yen.
This game is going to be great. The graphics are looking really good and the Wi-Fi is going to be an amazing addition.
