CNET Reviews got its first look at the Nintendo Wii today and, so far, the much-anticipated game console has everything that was hoped for. One of the most notable features of the device is the special remote (known as the "Wii-mote") that can be used in different movements for different games, from driving to sword play.

Nintendo put its portable game devices on a diet awhile back, and it paid off: The slimmer, sleeker DS Lite would make Jenny Craig proud.

Nintendo's next-generation Wii video game console will feature the Opera browser, Opera Software announced on Wednesday.
Wii users will browse the Internet using their consoles, navigating sites via the new Wii remote controller, a two-handed, motion-sensitive system that allows players to mimic actions on-screen with the movement of their hands.
"For our Wii console launch in 2006, we required a browser that was fast and secure, with support for the latest standards, including AJAX," said Genyo Takeda, senior managing director and general manager of Nintendo's Integrated Research & Development Division.
