One thing I like about my Nintendo Wii is the fact that I can surf the web through it’s Internet Channel. Being a game console hooked up to a TV, one problem is that most web pages are harder to read and navigate through than on a PC. Luckily the Opera powered webbrowser does have some options like the ability to zoom into a page, but it’s still far from perfect.
Fortunately there are quite a few Wii-optimized websites. For instance there’s Viewii which is a front end for Youtube videos (Flickr pictures coming soon) and Finetune, a radio station. Even Google made Google Reader Wii-friendly.
If you are interested in making your website Wii-friendly too, check out the Making Wii-friendly pages artice at Dev.Opera. It describes what web standards the Opera browser on the Wii supports, how it displays a website and lot’s of tips and considerations on creating Wii-compatible webpages.
