Nintendo Wii to Incorporate a Customised Version of Opera Browser
On Wednesday, Norwegian corporation Opera Software announced that the Nintendo Wii will be making use of a customised version of its browser within the console, which will enable users to browse the internet between games. Users will be able to surf the internet with the help of the Wii Remote, Opera added.
In a statement, Nintendo’s senior managing director Genyo Takeda said, “For our Wii console launch in 2006, we required a browser that was fast and secure with support for the latest standards including AJAX. Opera proved perfect for our purposes and is an exceptional addition to both the Nintendo DS and the Wii console.”
Opera’s association with Nintendo is not new. Infact just a few months back in February, Opera had announced a similar deal for the Nintendo DS.
