If you’ve been meaning to download Opera’s Wii Web Browser but kept getting distracted by other activities (like surfing the web on your PC), next week is your last chance to get it while it’s free because after June 30th, Nintendo will begin charging 500 Wii Points for it. It’s an odd move by Nintendo, since other consoles offer a browser for free, but the Wii is also outselling “other consoles” by several orders of magnitude so I doubt they’re too concerned.
This price only applies to new downloads, so as long as you’ve downloaded it before the end of the free period, you’ll never have to pay for it.
It’s worth having, if only for messing around on WiiCade, a collection of flash games perfect for playing with the Wii remote. It’s also not bad for watching YouTube videos on your TV.
