I haven't turned on my Wii in a very long time, but I just found out there's a picross site you can play using the Wii, so I booted it up, but now I just can't connect with it. Am I doing something wrong, or can I just not use it anymore?

I doubt you can use it now. Why didn't you upgrade for free to the newer one before July?

I really doubt it. I think you'd have to update to use it at this point.

If you have the trial version of the browser just go to the WiiWare section and download the final version.

Yeah but eh 5 bucks. I mean come on. It'll be there forever and what can 5 bucks get you nowadays? A NES game off the VC and a burger.

Really? I didn't know it was like that

Heck it's not even 9PM EST, I'd call up Nintendo and complain if I had the trial and was unable to get the final version.

Hmm... apparently, I'm updating the browser for free. Unless there's some other way to do this, I went to WiiWare and clicked on "Update" on the trial version of the browser, and it said 0 points, so.. :P

I TOLDJA!

I'm sure I read on the Opera site that as long as you downloaded the trial it was good forever. Please excuse me while I do a bit of a dance, well not so much a dance but a jig....

Well... now I got a problem. I can't seem to use the browser at all. I can use the News, Weather and Shop channels, but everytime I try to go to any site, even Nintendo.com, it says it "Can't Connect to Remote Server." Any ideas? :?

Hmmm that's quite a pickle

The only thing I can think of is clear out the cache and try again.

Very, very odd. I switched the connectin from my wireless router to my USB Wi-Fi connector and the internet channel works just fine now.... :? There's something about the Wii connecting directly with my router that doesn't let it communicate with any websites. Again, I go :?.

You know how to get it working with your wireless router? Try unhooking the power to your router, and hook it back up. For some reason, the wii just will not stay connected. It'll work with news and weather, but the internet thing has some problems still.

Sorry I meant cookies though I doubt that's gonna work

What I would do is this. Unplug the router and get rid of your wireless setting on the Wii. Then plug the router back in and do the settings over in the Wii.

If that doesn't work then you might have to give Nintendo a ring.
