The Nintendo Wii, thanks to its innovated design, has become a huge success. The competitors could not keep up with all of the cool features in the Wii, as a result, it has sold more consoles than anyone else. The controls are new and unique with features not offered on other video game consoles. The Internet Channel feature will allow you to access the Internet from a television. From the main menu you can download the Internet channel and start surfing with your Wii remote on your TV. The ability to use motions, just like you do when playing games, as an interface to the web is very easy and fun.
Using the Opera browser, you can surf the World Wide Web on your television. You can use your favorite video sites because the browser supports Flash and JavaScript. The fully functioning internet channel brings your favorite web destinations to your TV and in the future may support more than one choice of browser.
Controlling the internet channel with the Wii remote is easy. Scrolling through the pages is fast with the control pad or the B button. Clicking on the links is as easy as pressing the ‘A’ button.You can adjust the size of text and videos with the plus and minus buttons. You can even center the screen on the part of the website you are viewing with the press of a button as well. All of these features make it easy and fun to surf on your TV.
Searching for internet sites is easy on the Internet channel. Using the remote and onscreen keyboard you can type in the search you want. Or if you prefer a more compact cell phone style keyboard you can easily switch. Using the search function will provide the same predictive word features on cell phones. This makes typing on this keyboard easy. As you can see, the Wii remote is very intuitive which makes moving around the Internet easy.
Navigating to your web sites is also easy. If you go to the same site every day, you can add it to your favorites list to select it rather than typing the URL. You don’t have to search for your frequent sites or spend time retyping. Parents can set parental controls to limit their children’s access to the internet channel and which sites they can visit. The popularity of the Nintendo Wii is easy to understand once you identify all of its features. Nintendo will continue to add more channels and more features to the Wii’s internet capabilities.
