If the keyboard integration was better, then this wouldn’t be such a big issue. In addition, pressing the cursor keys while viewing a web page does not scroll up and down.įifth, the WII browser does not have an AutoComplete feature like any other modern browser. Also using shift with the cursor keys does not allow you to highlight text. So either you use the Backspace key to move around (and re-type stuff) or you use the WII remote to point where you want to move in the text. Also when editing text using the keyboard the cursor keys do not work. Instead it inserts a CRLF character in the text. Also when using the keyboard to type in text, pressing Enter does not implicitly click the OK button. You have to use the WII remote to point-n-click the button on the webpage. Once you’ve entered values on a web page if you press Enter, nothing happens. Yes, it does work with a wireless USB keyboard, but MANY basic keyboard conventions are not supported. – Fourth, the keyboard intergration is terrible. In addition, I had to switch back to Classic Yahoo Mail because the current version of Yahoo Mail won’t work with the WII browser. There were other websites which did not work right including Facebook, Chase Bank, Bank of America, and Weather Channel. In particular YouTube XL (which is supposedly optimized for the WII browser) would not play a single video for me. – Third there were many websites that just didn’t work right with the WII browser. While using the WII browser I was using my PC at the same time, and the WII browser was on average 50% slower loading pages – Second it was significantly slower loading pages than a PC-based browser. So you can only read a small section of any given web page. – First and foremost the text is unreadable unless you zoom in at like 200% or more. I knew the Opera browser on the WII would *not* be as easy to use or as full-featured as a PC-based browser, but given the fact Nintendo co-developed it I was expecting a solid product.
