Five sites you need to bookmark on your Wii browser
Anthony Burch12.23.08 - 1:24 PM 42 comments

 

wiicade

 

So, the new Wii browser is out, and all of us with Wiis are rushing to figure out exactly what it can do, and exactly what it can't. And while I'm not the person to tell you its exact capabilities, I can tell you that there are at least five websites you absolutely HAVE to bookmark on your Wii browser. If you have a Wii, you owe it to your family to check these out.  

1. Wiicade

Here's the deal with the Wii browser's flash capabilities: it can handle Flash 7, and Flash 7 only.  That means that about two thirds of Newgrounds--the good two thirds--won't work on the browser. Enter Wiicade.com, a Site made with the expressed intent of providing Flash 7, mouse-only online games for Wii users. So far, there isn't much up (the most entertaining games are Curveball and Tactical Assassin, but everyone and their mother has played those before), but it's worth a bookmark if only because they're constantly updating the site with newer, better games.  

 

 2. Youtube

youtube

 

Despite what many of us thought yesterday, Youtube does, in fact, work on the Wii browser, as do most any other Sites that use flash video embedding. This means that you can essentially watch the Interweb's most badass videos on your TV. I would therefore humbly suggest:

-Heat Vision and Jack

-Robot Bastard

-A Bit of Fry and Laurie

-Alan Partridge 

-Onyxia Wipe Animation (World of Warcraft)

 

3. Orisinal

Want some really good Flash 7, mouse-only games, but don't wanna wait for Wiicade to put them up? That's what Perry Falim's Orisinal.com is for. In addition to serving as really artistic, cute, simplistic, fun games in their own right, their control scheme (all but like, two of the 58 games are mouse-only) and simplicity are perfectly suited for the Wii browser. While there are some issues with the dimensions of the game window (the goddamn browser zoom seriously needs to have more than two settings), the games are still really fun. Plus, you can use pretty much all of the games as fodder in a "games should be taken seriously as an art form" argument.

 

4. Destructoid

Well, duh. 

 

5. Tits

 

titties

 

What's better than boobies on a 1024x 768 monitor? Boobies on a 55 inch HDTV. While the Wii browser's capacity to watch porn videos is severely hampered by its inability to play anything other than flash videos, it can display pictures just fine. And oh, what pictures there are to display. Where free porn would otherwise have to be confined to your computer monitor, the Wii browser allows still photographs of boobies, weiners, and va-jay-jays on your home TV quicker than you can say "dirty sanchez." And that's a gift you can't put a price on.

 

Honorable Mention:

Bowman

It's like Scorched Earth, but without the tanks, and its control scheme (click once and drag to define power and angle, let go to fire) is absolutely perfect for the Wii. If you play with another person, trading off the remote after each shot, it feels like a game that was almost made for the Wii.

UPDATE:

Internet crusader atghiphop has made wiishortcuts.com, a site which links to all of the places mentioned in this list, including some other, very helpful ones. And by very helpful, I mean Blinkx, which has about a million porno clips running off flash video. Fappers rejoice!

Yeah for va-jay-jays on Wii! I assume since you recommended Alan Partridge that you just missed putting Saxondale on that list. Steve Coogan rocks!

Since your limited to the amount of bookmarks you can have. This link is a must. It has alot of the sites on it already. So you dont have to waste time typing the url you can just click.

Steve Coogan's new show is Saxondale...another great britcom. A bit like "Curb Your Enthusiasm."

I knew about alluc it didn't work for me it kept going all crazy and changing page over and over till the console froze. But I'll give peekvid.com a look.

Stupid question, how to you make bookmarks? The option is greyed out for me when I bring up the favorites menu.

Thanks for mentioning Orisinal, I had completely forgotten about that site. Bowman works great, it's one of the first Flash games I tried on the Wii. Linerider won't load though.

Ok, nevermind. The button isn't greyed out today. Weird. It would not let me bookmark anything yesterday.

So, let me get this straight...

You can surf the Internet... ON YOUR TELEVISION?!

Holy shite, next gen has truly arrived.

I need to buy a Wii today.

Tell me.

Does this Wii also possess the ability to heat food using invisible microwaves?!

I heard this Wii can also predict the weather and play 20 year-old videogames.

I went to wiicade yesterday and tried to play a game and all it did was redirect me to some stupid ad.

"i heard the wii can also make toast"
it's difficult, becayse you have to slice the bread into very thin... slices. Yeah, slice it into slices.

I was surfin' aerisdies but popups redirected me, so pressing back a couple of times solved the problem.

@Lezbro: Porn DVDs that are left around (such as forgotten in the player after the user reaches the peak of the Heavenly Mountain) can (and will) be used as ammunition in current or future arguments with a significant other. Browsing naughty pics and video on the Wii leaves no such trace (unless you don't clean up well). There is also no cache or history for snoopy others to check at a later date on Opera for the Wii.

@Lezbro: This is free, easier to use with the Wii controller, and generally a much better option than other methods of going online on your TV. Not to mention those games are legal to be played on the Wii, instead of your constant theft.

@Summa: You mean Pornotube? Yeah, it works.

Not that I have it bookmarked or something. I heard from a friend . . . of a friend's cousin.
