The Digital Void of SPZ

This is old news to most people, but Nintendo are soon to release their new gaming console - the Wii. The most distinctive feature of the Wii is it's controller - the Wiimote - which is shaped like a remote control and is set to change the way we experience games; it is essentially a pointing device with a gyro - detecting your every movement and rotation of the controller while knowing exactly where on screen you are poiting it. With built in rumble and speaker (yes in the controller itself) this makes for some very interresting controlling concepts - and thereby also making room for some new and innovative gaming. You can see some short videos of random people all over the world testing some Wii games here, to get a quick introduction to some of the possibilities.

This console will have a browser, and that this browser is developed by my employer Opera Software. Yours truly is now working on the development of this browser (or the Internet Channel as it is called) - and since I am such a console freak decided to make a little post about it This post was done with the Wii devkit and the lovely Wiimote.

Christmas is soon here, and with the releasedate for europe set to December 8th you should make sure your tree has a Wii under it - it should truly be a fun little console for everyone
