Opera Browser for Wii

A little more info is getting out on the Opera Browser for the upcoming Wii, thanks to an interview IGN landed with the vice president of Opera for Devices, Scott Hendrick.

Opera is developing a customized version of its browser that will make use of the Wii’s features including its motion-sensing remote control. Hedrick said, “I think that Nintendo quickly found that Opera was really the only browser that could meet and exceed their expectations in terms of speed, functionality and innovation. We are also very like-minded companies, placing the user experience first and ensuring that our products are not exclusive but rather inclusive, no matter age or gender.”

There’s no official confirmation that the browser will be included in every Wii console, but Hendrick confirmed that the browser will “not be sold as a separate item.”
