Opera is asking for user feedback for the Opera browser on the Nintendo Wii. On Opera’s Nintendo Wii portal page (sorry, it’s only accessible via the Wii) there’s a link for a feedback page.

I also found a Opera Community forum that discusses different things about the Wii browser.

It's pretty useless. Do I really need to surf the web on my game console? If it wasn't free, I wouldn't bother with it.

It's nice for showing people random crap on Youtube.

Other than that, meh.

I use it to watch Homestar running every morning and just before I go to bed. I sometimes use it for You Tube. While it isn't completely "meh", it can be better.

I love it! Hopefully the full version supports Flash 9 or whatever the newest one is. Also, tabs would be great.

For families with one computer it can be good if someone else wants/needs 'net access.

It needs *a lot* of work: fixing the stupid sloping screen, fixing the scrolling to be more wii news style. Have a url bar in the corner, add tabs, add better jvm/flash support, better/faster page loads...and that's just the tip of the iceberg; there's a lot more that could be done here...

What would be nice would be the ability to start into the browser and then one-click to a video cast of the latest news, sports highlights, etc.  That would make it real easy for general use.

How about allowing the user to hide the menu bar? The screen is only 640x480, even websites designed for that will get scaled down because of the menu bar at the bottom.

I'm kind of disappointed with the lack of interconnectivity between the channels... I mean, I'm reading a news story, and there's a web site there. I should just be able to click on the Web site to learn more if I want to launch the Web browser, but I can't. How 'bout a cut and paste, or a "select to delete text" feature at least (these are interface-wide suggestions)?

I really want to be able to scroll pages with the D-Pad.  Having to hold B is just stupid.

We are thinking the same thought, Maverick.

the wii browser needs tabs, quicktime, windows media player plugin, flash 9, acrobat reader plugin, shockwave, and other video codecs like DivX and Xvid.

I still want the B button to backspace when I type. In any channel. But especially in the Internet channel where I might type uncommonly long things (like forum posts).

I hope you guys are writing this on the Opera feedback as  well.

But yeah, it is kinda fun. Youtube rocks, although sometimes I get this weird problem where I try to watch it full screen and it only plays about 9 seconds of it, I have to watch it regualr screen then I can watch it on full screen...weird.

Oh and Wiicade....so much fun.

I want the ability to access the mp3s on my sd card so I can listen to music, I don't like that goofy muted tv noise tube tvs make.  It would be very nice to  listen to music when surfing the Internet as that is what I do on my desktop.

So far I like the Internet channel a lot though.

It's pretty basic... Could be more stable.. Frustrating, but then its free right. A lot of what i had in minds already been covered ...anyhows...

Loaded up wiiminder yesterday and so far they have tried to fix some of the problems... still annoyin but not as before..
and also you can get music off some stations and just surf in another tab(one of the features of wiiminder)......

Cool, it's a work in progress and I am glad opera is opening it up to what we all want.

I've been using the browser more and more lately. In fact, I'm on it right now.

I enjoy it for the most part, but heres what I'd like:

-Keyboard support. Lets make use of those USB ports.

-Infinate typing space. I've hit the max a few times D:

-More or less everything everyone else mentioned.

-Some kind of IM dealy-o, ala Trillian *wishful thinking lol *
