Wii U Will Include A Web Browser
Nintendo showed off the Wii U's web browsing capabilities during the company's pre-press conference today.
Players can use touch controls to scroll through web pages and tap to access links on the tablet controller. The imagery will also be mirrored on your TV screen. Nintendo is also incorporating a curtain system that blocks what you're looking at on the tablet from the TV, allowing you to pull back the onscreen curtains dramatically when you're finally ready to play that hilarious YouTube video. I guess your friends can look at some drab purple curtains instead of your clumsy search typing.
Nintendo classifies this as "Browsing as entertainment."
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
