No, and I don't think it's worth the $5 either.

I would have gotten it if it was still free, but now that they made it 5 bucks I'm not gonna bother

It's not free? I was thinking about trying it but I don't think I'll bother if they think it's worth $5. Can't you get it for free using HBC though?

Don't know. It's worth a download if you want to watch youtube videos on the big screen, but I wouldn't download it at $5 unless I had no other way of doing the mentioned.

Not really. You can enter something into a search bar automatically by highlighting it, but that's the closest thing, I think.

I agree that it's not worth $5, but I got it when it was free.

I remember Nintendo announcing before Christmas that they were going to release an updated browser, but it never happened. I wonder if they're still planning on releasing it.

How far down the rabbit hole?

I too got the channel just before they started charging $5.

The only thing that the channel is good for, like stated before,
is for watching videos on youtube. I especially enjoy watching
Anime on my tv screen as opposed to my pc screen.

I also did hear that an update was in the process, but it
never happened I guess. Oh well, b/c I really wish you
could view some sites and videos that the browser cannot read right now.

Why can't it play videos elsewhere? Does it only have some special player for YouTube?

I'm pretty sure that the updated Wii internet browser was just a rumor that received lots of attention due to some fake screenshots. I don't recall ever reading from an official source that Nintendo had plans of doing anything further with the Internet Channel.

YouTube is just flash video. Any other site that is just flash video should work too. However, most other Websites try to be fancier than YouTube, but only restrict their members to more powerful browsers...

I think the Web browser is worth $5 for a nice novelty. Especially if you have parents that limit your computer time like mine used to. And YouTube videos are awesome to watch on TV. :D Wouldn't a YouTube channel on the Wii main menu be awesome? :r

I have the net browser and the $5 dollar charge seemed more than reasonable.
