This Friday, Opera Software will be releasing their Wii web browser for free on the Wii Internet Channel. However, it’s only a beta version. The browser will no longer be free to use at the end of June 2007, when the full version will retail for 500 Wii Points ($5). The only requirement for using the browser is to have a high-speed Internet connection for optimal browsing. The browser also includes an Adobe-Flash plug-in, which means you can play Flash games or view YouTube movies, or even browse DigitalBattle, right on your Wii.
