While most Wii gamers patiently await the official release of the Opera 9 browser, some over-eager Wii’ers have found a way of altering the settings on the Wii’s Shop Channel to enable them to access the global worldwide Interweb.

Should you have far too much time on your hands and wish to access the Internet via your imported Wii before normal people, you can see the full video of the process in action below.

Spitting Discs
In other ‘kids messing with Wii’ news, check out the rather funny Wii-that-spits-out-discs video below. Is this perhaps a new development for Wii Sports 2, in which your Wii physically spits out a disc and you have to intercept it before it kills the cat? Or it could simply be that the kids are inserting a blank, recordable - e.g. non-Wii - disc!

SPOnG-News has had similar problems with a number of Apple iBook disc drives in the past. SPOnG hopes that this is not part of Nintendo’s stated strategy of taking inspiration from Apple’s innovative designs, otherwise our Wii may well follow our broken iBook into our cupboard of technological horrors sooner than we hoped…

We are awaiting comment from a call to Nintendo in the UK regarding the browser hack and the possible disc problems.
