Wii Internet browser free once again

I farted.

sweet, i bought final fantasy with this.

yeah I get 500 wii points. Too bad its not now

So what about the people that got it for free when it went live? I mean the beta testers to regular internet channel. Don't we get a little something to make us less aggravated that some people are getting something fro free. OK small rant is over.

I was regretting on buying Opera browser when I read about this news but the free NES game relieved me and made me feel like a winner. Thanx Nintendo!

to sofad1970 go in to setings-go right-internet-agreement-yes-ok-I agree. thats it!! hav fun using the chanels !! (at this moment I am using the chanel right now!!xD)

can someone please help..how do i actually get this browser to work and where is it ? ive tried to connect but it wont let me it says Wii connect 24 and the shopping channel service is not been offered ? ive done a connection test and its fine ....

this is awsome i get a free game yay i bought the internet channel a while ago and im surprised i actually get some good news. the only question is how do we get this free game

now all they need to do is add the orginal Super Smash Bros. on virtual channel

bbc iplayer doesnt work

I didn't mind paying for the browser in the first place (which I did, obviously). But I'll take the free VC game.

THEY BETTER HAD. D:

Hey Condelirios. They actually updated the Flash now. So most websites (all of them that I tried) works perfectly including videos.

I can browse a lot better on my ps3s browser, but I downloaded the free version anyway. However, I had my wii before the browser came out, and it was always 500 points.

wow this suck for me i bought me the browser and punch out

Yup, just got it. It is nice. Nothing amazing, but yah, it is nice.

I may get the browser now.

Awesome. NES oldschool game at the end of october for free...Castlevania or Punch Out?

Yay i get free game in October

And when?

Way to go Nintendo. Now how about dropping the price on some of the Virtual Console titles? :D I can dream yeah?

I'm typing this from my free wii browser now! ha!

YAY

I will finally get to try Zelda Two!!! Even though I heard it sucks, it's free: so there is no drawback! :D

My wii browser was ALWAYS free. Not sure why but even after it was 500 points I still had it for free. Do I still get a free NES game? haha

Even if they didn't do this, the internet channel was well worth the points. My Computer broke down a few times and my Wii was my back up computer.

Sweet, I get a free VC game in October! :D

FREE GAME FOR ME!!!!

i got a computer but at least i'll check it out.

Ummm UPGRADES? It needs a serious FLASH upgrade and how about Silverlight? If they would only upgrade these things you could stream Hulu on it and netflix. COME ON Nintendo... upgrade the thing!

buying super mario bros 3

I forgot they started charging for this thing. I'm glad I downloaded it while it was free. It's nice that they are giving people a free game in replacement. Nintendo must have worked out some deal with the folks at Opera to make this happen. Opera is free for mobile phones and PC's; should be on consoles too. As for using the internet browsers on my consoles... I don't play the Wii that much; it's more for the kids. I do use my PS3 web browser about 1-3 times a week. If I actually would take the time, I would watch streaming videos on there too. I just prefer to play games when I get the time. _

PS3's got a special application for bbc iplayer and it rocks!

Wow nice name drop for Last.fm and CBS.

I'm surprised how often I use my PS3 browser. Alot more than I use Playstation Home.

I watch youtube videos on it because its a bigger screen and go on when somebodys using my computer.

Does anyone actually use the internet on their consoles? I got it when it was free before, checked it out, went back to my comp... @ Super-Mario-Fan The term gratis in English comes from the Latin word "gratis" meaning "for thanks".

Is the Spanish word "gratis" now in the English dictionary? Is it now an English word as well?

The internet channel was also updated.

Dont count on there EVER being a browser on the 360 because its the early 90's AOL of consoles.. they dont want you to be aware of an internet that doesnt go through them only.

*got the internet browser when it was free before* meh nothing for me :( Good for all the people that actually paid for it though (lol it's not really worth it IMO but if you don't have a PS3 I could see it being desirable)

Cool! :D

what they never had a free browser thats dumb

Yes free! I got my wii just when they made it 5$ but i spent my 1000points on super metroid. I always wanted it and it proves the paitent get rewarded.

Hulu still doesn't work on the upgraded browser.

@ twztid13 - what the heck are you talking about? You can download 1000 points for $10 off your credit card. You don't need the official card. Buy a VC game, and respect the greats of the past. But if you prefer to not spend your money, and just waste it, that's fine with me.

I'm liking this. I haven't tried their web browser, but there is no excuse not to now! It's great that they are making up for the money some people spent. That shows a lot. @ jasongm: say what? You want to buy an N64 title for $5? Yous seriously think they would do that? $10 is a great deal for those titles. I wouldn't mind the NES titles being cheaper, but buying an NES and playing them would be far more expensive. You clearly are very cheap, or haven't researched the alternatives.

Looks like Microsoft has some catching up to do :)

It would be nice if they just credited the 500 Wii points back to the account, insted of letting us choose from a few select games :?
