You probably have all the Marios and Zeldas you want (and River City Ransom), so we thought we would help you figure out what to do with that windfall. We've picked...
Free NES game now available to Internet Channel buyers
Good news for the people who were unfortunate enough to get the Wii Internet Channel between July 1, 2007 and September 1 of this year.

Wii Internet Channel now free, with updated Flash [update]
Nintendo just dropped the price of the Wii Opera browser in Japan and PAL markets to nothing, its original "price" during the system's launch, when the browser was in beta. VOOKS photographed the Wii message that announced the price drop, which also revealed that the version of Flash used in the Wii...

CES 2009: Opera's new SDK could mean better Wii browsing down the line
So, uh, we guess that bit about the updated Internet Channel being done and on the way out the door was spurious after all. Awesome.

Wii Warm Up: Surfing
It's been awhile since we talked about the Opera browser for the Wii. How often do you use the Internet Channel? We know some of you use it to participate in Game Night, which is awesome, but how else do you enjoy the console's ability to surf the interwebs? Did you get a Wii too late to get the I...
Nintendo encourages friends to help each other get Wiis online
In order to promote use of the Wii's online functions, Nintendo has announced that they'll start including a 3.5 minute movie on each Wii -- in Japan, anyway -- called "Wii de Dekiru Koto" ("Things You Can Do With Wii"). We expect that it will outline things like playing Mario Kart online, downloadi...
Wii Warm Up: The Internet Channel and You
The Internet Channel sits there in the Wii Menu with all the other loser channels (as in, all the ones that aren't River City Ransom), just waiting to accidentally be opened when you try to open River City Ransom. Or ... do you use the thing? We know you're not using it to watch TV shows on Hulu, ...
