[BedtimeGuy]

o really, wow! sorry my bad... i always had the internet channel so i never heard of ninty making us pay for it... well, i made a fol of myself!

btw. the new update is said to have the latest FLASH player integrated.

A new update is available to the internet browser, it adds the latest version of shockwave flash, meaning you can now browse practically any site now that has flash!
I just got a message from Nintendo saying that new version of the Internet Channel with updated Flash is available on the Wii Shop Channel.

Best of all, its free!

As well as that it states that anyone who has already bought the Internet Channel will receive a free NES Virtual Console title!
I'm PAL from the UK, but I'm receiving the following error code 204036 trying to update the damn thing.

Thats not too much...

 

[Screemer]

opera for the wii uses flash lite to display flash content. it's used on mobile phones and smartphones as well. actually it should run at least video streaming content fine.

Lol WTF? "wii can play any games"? 88MB is a decent amount for a console.

Of course it's not to be compared with the likes of XBOX360 (512MB)
