Wii Internet Channel

December 31st 2008 15:46
When compared to the xBox 360 and PlayStation 3, the Wii's internet channel is just not quite as advanced as it could be. In time, I only hope that we will be able to play with gamers in other cities, states, and countries. I mean, I can kick some major butt playing the computer at Tennis with the Wii Sports pack, I only wish that I could play someone other than the computer and people in my house. You know, spice it up a bit...


But, with the current Wii internet channel, it's well... Blah...

First off, you need 500 Wii Points in order to actually download the Wii Internet Channel, which is fine and only makes sense. But, it's just so frustrating.

Downloading the Wii Internet Channel
  • I mean, you have to connect to your broadband internet connection and download the Opera Browser by pulling up the Wii Shop Channel from the Wii Menu.
  • If you haven't pulled it up before, you'll have to agree to the User Agreement first.
  • Once, the welcome screen comes up, you want to select 'Start Shopping,' and then select the 'Wii Channels' from the Wii Shop main menu.
  • Next, you have to select the 'Internet channel,' select 'yes' to agree and confirm the download.
  • At this point you finally have the Opera Browser, and the 'Internet Channel' will appear on you Wii Menu.

    So, all that accomplished, and now you can surf the web on your Wii.




    The Internet Channel allows you to redeem your Wii Points for downloads and WiiWare games. That's about it... I mean, you see it's a start, but it's a small baby step to hopefully being able to play with others on the Wii Internet Channel
