Dudes, I'm posting this with my Wii...how cool is that?
Wii internet channel
Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/Wii internet channel I'm going to kill Opera if they don't have USB Keyboard support in the final version of the browser before it hits 500-points-to-download status.
Anyways, it is indeed cool, long as it doesn't bug out on you and hard-lock your Wii system, but that's why it's a beta after all.
Great for YouTube and checking on news sites/webcomics.

Yeah, typing the current way is a little hard. lol, however, i am getting faster.
Be glad it's nowhere near as slow as using the numpad-style input editor for the characters on the PSP's browser, albeit the Wii has the option for that input-mode also...no reason why anyone would want to anyway.
(well, I guess people with 2" TVs might want to...)

fhnny thing is, you can switch it to numberpad style!

so it can do flash? That opens up a whole lot of indie-wii design doesn't it... will it do shockwave?? What about javascript and java apps?
Flash, yes - although keyboard keys may prsent a problem with controlling on game such as Flash Flash revolution.
Java no not yet (if ever)
Shockwave (can't tell you as I haven't tried this yet.
Standard Flash with mouse controls - Yes - albeit a little slower than you would expect.

It's true - although it does look a little low res.
The other one to keep in mind is Call Of Duty 3 - BUT be warned there is NO MULTIPLAYER or ONLINE support for COD3 - which to me is a major disaster. Sigh.
Check out the vidoes on Callofduty.com though they look fab.

I actually like that zelda looks low-rez ... It reminds me of days of old. I want a wii so bad but have to wait still longer.
I got to play zelda in a story, at least the demo.. Bliss... If the story, characters, music, and equipment are as good as the gameplay, it really is an ocarina killer. It may not be as revolutionary as ocarina, but it seems to play better. Which is what made Ocarina a good candidate for best game ever.

The component cables help quite a bit, I picked some up a few days ago, and noticed a difference straight away.
One soon forgets about the graphics though when you play Twilight Princess, it is just such an awesome game, I cant spit on the gfx.
Of course I have zelda! ;)
Been playing it for about 12 hours now. Going to get COD3 soon, rayman and that monkey game too. And a bunch of Vc games. And wiiplay.

COD 3 uses the wii controllers really to their fullest, I have seen a player pushing Axis soldiers backwards in a hand to hand fight.
Looks great, lifting your arms to look down the rifle barrel, aim shoot, winding the nuinchuk to raise and lower the barrel of your tank.
Great stuff.

yeah zelda has cost me a few pairs of batteries and I just got the thing a few days ago.
COD3 update***
Got this yesterday with some tokens and my Reward card - - not as sure it is as good as I hoped it would be. Grphically it does NOT compare to the PC versions of COD games. The controller is dodgy occasionally too. As stated earlier there is NO MULTIPLAYER or ONLINE version. :(
I'll persist though and let you know what I think, we went on to play Need For Speed instead (which is quite good as driving games go - I must admit I love the Burnout series and the Gran Turismo series - this is not comparable so far, although the gameplay is quite good and very enjoyable.
