    Hmmm, I just noticed that Askimet (spam stopper) has been stopping my comments… I “despammed” my comments, but I wish I knew why it did that…

  • Marvin

    You can only paste into a search engine… Select the text by pressing and holding the A button, en then click the search icon on your browser bar. the text will be copied onto the search engine…

    OMG… Sonic got to brawl…

  • chris

    how come nintendo didnt send a message about this upgrade

  • Rikuto

    They did retard. How do you think anyone knows about it? Check your internet settings on your wii.

  • Block

    does it include the latest flash 8 version ?

  • http://www.xanga.com/relaxing_roth Roth

    Flash 9 is the latest, but they’re only allowed to use up to Flash 7, since version 8 and later are owned by another major company that is Adobe.

    Also, the Everybody Votes Channel is compatible with 3.1, so those haven’t downloaded the channel yet, feel free to do so.

    In the meantime, I might wanna get me a mini USB keyboard.
    With that, does this mean we can copy+paste text+URLs?
    Wonderful update! \:D/

    YES! USB keyboards on internet channel, two new channels that include a DS Download feature, copy and paste on internet channel, new games and game footage and info, Sonic in brawl, new WiiWare titles and tons more, now I know why I bought my Wii! I’m still getting a 360, but this will keep me playing my Wii for a long time!
