The good folks over at Nintendo Life had the opportunity to get the development team of Opera for the Nintendo Wii console to spill a few details about the upcoming browser software. Will Opera for Wii support tabbed browsing and bookmarks? And will we be able to have personalised bookmarks, so that each family member […]
Looks like Wii60 has more power than we thought
Even the editor of the Official Playstation Magazine won’t be picking up a PS3 this year. So ultimately, I can’t justify it. $600 is a lot of money, especially when I can get what–for me at least–will be a very similar experience for $400. I would like to own a PS3, and I hope that […]
Camp Hyrule campers to contend for a Wii

The Wii-mote’s LEDs serve two roles. The first is to show which player is communicating with the console at a given moment. Player 1 will light up on the far left, Player 2 the next over, and so on. The second purpose is to illustrate battery life. Upon booting up, four LEDs blink when the […]
Free Game with your purchase of a Wii?
After contacting Toys’R’Us for comment, they have indeed confirmed that everyone will receive a free game with their Wii as part of the package, but they did not know which game this might be.

Ubisoft’s ‘Red Steel’ to get control changes
Link: IGN Wii In a brief chat with French press outlet JeuxFrance, Ubisoft expressed that changes to the E3 2006 build were already being implemented, specifically in the swordplay department.
