Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Wii U - Internet Browser (Holy Sh*t)

But it doesn't have Ethernet.



Around the Network

I have a PC connected to my HDTV. It does everything I need but sometimes, my kid is using it for games or Netflix or something. I have a laptop but my GF is always on it looking at sales and stuff. Being able to use the Wii U to browse the web (and post on VGChartz) is going to be a gift from above!



Was using it last night when I was laying in bed going to sleep. Works great and is pretty fast.

Surprisingly good it seems! Is it able to handle 8 tabs at once without crashing?

i think 6 is the limit, read it somewhere



I'm really surprised everyone is so excited about this. Ok, it's quick. And? I hardly every use the internet explorer on my consoles, and it doesn't support Flash. How is this so amazing?

It seems about as fast as IE on 360, pretty decent. Doesn't compare to browsing on PC by a long shot though.



This is great, I like watching YouTube on my TV :)

Becausing owning a Wii U is sort of like owning a limited tablet that connects flawlessly to your television. So the better the internet browser, the more opportunities for a lazy day of internet browsing.



i'm using it right now for this post too awsome! but the browswer is really fast i agree. i love you nintendo, you have made buying a console fun again.

I love My Wii U, and the potential it brings to gaming.

It's seems to be the best on any console so far.

Unless you are totally blinded by your prejudice anyone would admit that the PS3 and x360 have very crappy internet browsing capabilities. Then again, to be fair to MS and Sony, I don't think it was a very high priority on their list.
