Wii Internet Channel
Definition
The Internet Channel is a modified Opera browser for the Nintendo Wii and that connects through WIFI to the Internet. It supports the same web functionalities and standards that are included in the desktop versions of Opera, including CSS and JavaScript. On the other hand, it only seems to support Flash 7 (April 2008). This browser is not included when you buy the Wii. It will cost 500 Wii Points (about 5 Euros). E.g. in Switzerland you can buy 2000 points for CH 37.- in a shop.
