    A decent way to celebrate the Nintendo Wii's 15th anniversary! I used to use my Nintendo Wii Family Edition console's Internet Channel to browse the Internet back in the early 2010s and the mid 2010s, but not anymore. I miss those good old days.

      Now I'm feeling old as shit and I've also came to the logical conclusion that forced motion controlls like on the wii absolutely suck. It had great games tough. Just a little less motion controlls would have been nice.

      I mean, I assume this entire thing around encryption is also at least part of why the Internet Channel fails, or more to the point it’s the outdated SSL versions involved. The modern web is fairly ruthless about backwards compatibility because many older TLS/SSL versions can be used to attacks even on connections that should use more modern versions.

    I will say, I remember using the Wii version of Opera in 2016/2017 and it could load Wikipedia and RUclips without issue. I wonder when exactly they became inaccessible? I remember the only weird thing being that Wikipedia wouldn't display italics but otherwise the site was fully functional.

    I used to use WiiBrowser to download Sonic rom hacks to my Wii to run them through an emulator.
    It doesn't have any CSS support at all, so all webpages are displayed without styling, it used to work pretty well and really responsively from memory.
    I'd recommend trying some different websites, I remember Google working at one point, but I guess something broke over the past 2 years.

    Browsing the internet on a Wii was painfull especially having to use the virtual keyboard with the remote. Similar to using the DS/2DS/3DS to brownse the internet but at lease that had a stylus/touch screen for typing inputs quicker. Great that they added USB keyboard support in later versions for the Wii.

      The Wii's internet was never very good. Just use a computer or even a phone. Even a basic phone is multiple times faster internet than a Wii, when the internet actually worked.

      There's not much point to it now anyway, pretty much everybody has a smartphone now or even a computer, those have like at least 10x the specs that the Wii had, the Wii also wasn't HD on top of that. For the time when smartphones were hardly a thing and many families had one computer and most online content wasn't HD anyway, the Wii Browser was decent though.

    I remember, originally you had to pay to download the browser in the early years of the wii. Later on they made it free, but they gave out a free nes game coupon (which was the same prices as the wii browser before it going free), I decided to get Final fantasy just because. I don't think i actually beatened yet holy shit

      The Military was using it in 1969 and businesses and nerds were using it in the 80's but it did go mainstream around 1993 so it is still weird to think about there being more time between now and the Wii than the Wii and the mainstream internet.

    The Wii's Internet Channel was my first proper exposure on exploring the wonderful world known as THE INTERNET at my home back in 2008. It changed my life forever. Never stopped exploring the internet ever since.
    Wasn't the first time I was exposed, I remember when I was introduced to the internet at school around the late 1990s.
