Wii Software \ Wii Web Browser - WTF?

How the hell do are you supposed to use the web browser?

I wouldn't have thought that one of the 'features' this trial version is missing is the ability to scroll down!

Does anyone have instructions for it?

I would have liked to be able to use the 4-way arrow keys to scroll but buggered if I can get it to do much more than see only the first page of the site. Zoom worked, but then I couldn't move at all; despite having a 'v' at the bottom of the screen.

And what's with the black bar for the top 7cm of the screen - has it gone into NTSC mode or something?

After such an impressive weather applet (spinning the globe is fantastic), this is a real let-down.

When you click on the Internet bowser in the Wii Menu, did you happen to see the word "TRIAL" come up anywhere????

It's a beta version for christ sake!!!!!

Mercutio, if you don't like it, or are just incapable of reading instructions, perhaps you should wait until march for the full version to come out....

Yeah I admit I missed the 'b' to scroll on the open menu, but it's still fairly dodgey. Scrolling would be heaps better if it scrolled like the Mii Area where you can just kind of 'wander' over the page by drifting the remote.

BTW: It's not a 'beta' version, it's a trial version. The distinction is that this version is missing some functionality, but the bits that are there are theoretically complete and working.

I'm not saying it's bad because it's missing feature-X, I'm saying it's bad because the UI isn't as good as the other Wii user interfaces. Go pan around the Mii playground and see what I mean. Why can't it scroll like that. (Hmmm, maybe it does, better go have another crack at it)

*shrug*
