Opera Browser Now Free

Nintendo opens up the Internet Channel on Wii for no cost, and gives back to those who paid.

Nintendo of America today announced that it will make the Internet Channel -- the Wii Opera Browser -- free to all Nintendo Wii owners. The Internet Channel makes it possible for Wii users to surf the web easily using the Wii remote to navigate pages.

The Wii Browser was once offered for free in early beta form, but in July of 2007 Nintendo made it a premium for 500 Nintendo Points (then called Wii Points).

Additionally, starting in October, Wii owners that paid for the Internet Channel will be able to download a Virtual Console NES game of their choice, valued at 500 points.

On top of this, the Internet Channel has just been updated to support upgraded features of the Adobe Flash standard.
