How to Search the Internet With the Wii Game System

The Internet Channel is among the many channel options available for Nintendo Wii owners to download. This free service allows you to browse the Internet from the comfort of your easy chair using the Wii remote. As with Internet Explorer, you can save favorites, search for key terms or input your own preferred web address. If you can't type well, this method of browsing can be advantageous, because you use the Wii remote to browse and type in addresses. You can also easily zoom in and out to get a closer view of each webpage.
