The forthcoming web browser for Wii U has scored highly on HTML5 Test. The browser was ranked amongst all the other web browsers for video game devices, apart from the PlayStation 3. Out of all the web browsers researched the Wii U web browser scored 323, while its closest competitor was the PlayStation Vita beta browser which scored 243. Microsoft’s recently release Internet Explorer for Xbox 360 only managed to score 120. You can see the results here.
All I want is an updated flash player
html5 is replacing flash.
html5 is far more responsive espec on mobile devices
Flash is a dead technology and is being deserted little by little
i certainly hope so.. can’t happen fast enough for me.. i can’t count the numbers of times flash has caused crashes on my system
that wii-u supports html5 so well is a good sign
i don’t doubt that many people will use it for their everyday surfing.. this will encourage web developers to move further towards html5
You are all dumb. Is pixelated video tech what will replace Flash’s VECTOR-BASED awesomeness? People love to animate stuff in Flash. It has it’s place, although this place is not Youtube video anymore. It’s lots more complicated to animate stuff in SVG by now.
i’m not really concerned about how complicated it is for the developer to animate content.. i don’t care much for heavily animated websites anyway
i do care about flash causing instabilities on my system however
NO FLASH PLAYER!!
I´m really excited about this to!
Flash is dead.
Dear Sir,
You will be sad to learn, Nintendo does not pay licensing fees for things such as flash.
You should be happy to know that many large scale companies, including Apple & google, are pushing te migration to HTML5, which will completely replace flash by 2022.
WiiU scoring high for HTmL5 means that flash games, embedded animation and the things you love about flash, will be supported in the new HTML version.
Have no fear. Nintendo knows what it is doing, and if you don’t fully trust Nintendo, know that Apple and Google are pushing the HTML5 future.
Flash is a vector based animation program… People will not stop animating Flash any time soon :) http://www.newgrounds.com
DERP HTML5 is way better than flash, and older flash will still work wii was fantastic web browsing and flash play until recently with updated flash yeah im pointing at you xhamster
my brother has a ps3 the web surfing is fucking awful and it freezes all the time 512mb ram cannot browse properly lol
Ok.
Wow………..
I wouldn’t raise hopes up completely yet. How come it says the PS Vita got a score of 243 under Beta testing but under the actual list of released browsers it got a score of merely 58. So we’ll just have to wait and see.
Because the Beta version could be an upgraded version they are testing *hint hint* Beta. The current browser most likely “isn’t one par” if you will. So they may be testing another one and found it to be “slightly on par”, excuse me for my “”.
Wow, Everyone knows internet explorer is garbage, nice one microsoft.
Awww yeah faster porn!
Faster porn to watch on the gamepad in the bathroom, I seriously love the sounds of this!
I can see it now! Nintendo: Leave love to masturbating on a gamepad!
but seriously i can’t wait to see how this browser controls!
Wow! You’re really taking chances with the gamepad touching water.
Id be more concerned about it touching spunk
I’d be more concerned about accidentally pushing the GamePad screen to the TV while watching said porn…
That’s cool. Don’t really use web browsers on gaming devices though.
That was before you could bring it someplace *private* with a screen bigger than 3 inches lol
tablet? notebook?
cmon use your imagination :P
Well at least we know it’s better in at least one category spec wise….?
2g of ram memory that makes it 2
awsome
Good to hear. Now can they go about fixing the garbage web browser on the 3DS? It’s absolute shit.
if you arent those who uses their phone to surf on then you really should….
I use my phone, VITA, laptop and PC. Still it’s no excuse for Nintendo to provide us with garbage.
PSVitanic’s AT&T’s data plan blows monkey crap!
You do realise the VITA has a wifi option right? …
Wifi… and wifi with 3G. I’m aware of that, Mr. J.
How is it garbage if it scored higher then that vita your using? Think,Research,Type,Read. Do those 4 things before commenting and you won’t look so stupid.
I said 3DS you fucking idiot. Learn to read.
How am I the fucking idiot? I did not say a specific Nintendo console now did I? Without including the Beta PS Vita broswer the 3DS scored higher. Dumbass fuck…
If you’re trying to say the 3DS browser is better than the VITA browser, you’ve lost all your credibility. The 3DS browser is by far the worst browser I’ve ever used. The VITA annihilates it.
If you proudly assume the “3DS browser is by far the worst browser I’ve ever used”, then why the FUCK is the 3DS browser score higher than the Vitanic while they both run on NetFront?
Oh yea… Because of the bigger screen? The browser itself may be better, even though they BOTH are NetFront, but apparently which browser supports more and has more function capability? 3ds…Thought so.
Ok, so what can the 3DS do better? Hmmm? I’d love to hear this. :) It can’t even support youtube for fucks sake.
At least 3DS has Nintendo Video including 3Net by Discovery, SONY, and IMAX.
Nintendo Video is by far the worst application it has released. VITA has youtube. IT WINS.
3D Porn nuff said
No it doesnt support “3D Porn”.
The Web browser is not 3D. Unless the website supports 3D, it won’t be 3D.
This was a test on how well the browsers support HTML5. This was NOT a test on how GOOD the browsers are.
This was a HTML5 test, dipshit.
vita annihilates nothing exstep your cheakbook your a dumbass jellybean
Not really. I earn enough I can game on all platforms without worrying. Also if you’re going to insult my intelligence, use some correct grammar.
Scores:
PS Vita – 243
3DS – 109
Please say how the 3DS scored higher?
Scores:
3DS: 109
PSV: 58
The development/Beta one has already proven the 3DS will be destroyed. VITA already supports Youtube. It wins. Good day sir.
I see your ass is getting red, sir.
My ass is just fine. I see your’s is getting sore from where Reggie had fun with.
*Cough Cough* That is the PS Vita Beta/Development Browser, Not released yet. Current broswer score 58. 3ds 109, get the fuck out of here.
Vita has youtube, facebook, twitter. 3Ds struggles with that. Good day sir.
Idfc better score.
So when the VITA releases it’s beta what you going to say then hmmm? The 3DS browser is a pile of shit and will never be upgraded knowing Nintendo.
And if it’s beta rather than development it might not even get released. Making you even more butthurt…
You could also use that logic on the Wii U. It’s still in Beta.
Oh Jellyfish… your boyfriend is here!
Sorry. As much as you want me to have a boyfriend, I actually have a girlfriend … something which you probably don’t even know exists. VirginNation.
No you can’t. The Wii U only has one score and the Wii U already has a release date, ergo that logic wouldn’t apply. Its in development and/or finished.
You’re wrong Sir! You lose! You get nothing!
Vita scores a whopping 58 points
3DS scores a 109.
We’re not counting the beta score here as it is an unreleased version.
Good day sir!
So the Wii U score means jack shit too?
He said GOOD DAY!!!!!
You were not talking about the Wii U.
Don’t change the subject of the argument. It just shows me that you are losing said argument.
Have a seat.
jelly bean go piss off you dumbass meth yousing sonofabich fuck idoit jack ass pile of shit stop posting go play your psvita you know if gamestop has not trown them out yet becouse knowone would bye them oh and start yousing logic in your comments you stupid dick
Get an education Phantom. Trying to understand you is the equivalent of trying to understand advanced Latin.
Also that’s just a HTML5 test.
The VITA destroys the 3DS in features.
*Cough Cough* Developers disagree *Cough More Games on 3DS Cough*
Quantity =/= Quality.
All the 3DS games I’ve played are easy as all fuck and get boring quickly.
Vita actually has quality games.
You mean like Black Ops: Declassified? HA HA HA HA HA!!!!! Are you fucking remedial, Jellyfish?
And how many ports of CoD made it to Nintendo handhelds? Fuck loads.
AC3: Liberations
Uncharted Golden Abyss
New Little Kings Story
Little Big Planet
Gravity Rush
Persona 4
Hatsune Miku: Project DIva f
Superior version of Sonic Racing
MGS HD
Unit 13
Sound Shapes
Need for Speed MW (Exactly the same as Console version)
Upcoming titles also include:
Soul Sacrifice
God Eater 2
Killzone Mercenary
Tearaway
Earth Defense Force
along with crossbuy titles like Sly 4, Ratchet and Clank, Playstation Battle Royale.
Yep, NO GAMES.
And that’s just naming what I know off the top of my head, there are plenty more too. Along with PSone claasic and PSP titles.
And loses in GAMES! Aha!
The 243 is the beta score apparently, It’s real score is much lower.
For the Wii U score, that’s actually very good if its that high. 17 more days before launch and now we actually news of the PS4 dev kits: http://imgmr.com/index.php/ps3/news/3184-report-playstation-4-dev-kits-emerge
I wonder what will happen when PS4 and 720 join in the scene.
my 3DS is great you stupid assbean
I have a 3DS and the only thing better is that it has developer support. But even then it lacks tons of quality titles.
Vita is superior in basically every way.
Except no one buys it. All those games in your list where pathetic hahaha!
Too bad Vita doesn;t have Monster Hunter, Kingdom Hearts, Resident Evil, Metal Gear Solid, Sonic, Pushmo, etc… Vita has jack-shit,
You aren’t too bright are you? Wii U is different from the vita it coming with the web browser for sure while the vita web browser might not come because it just a beta but even though wii u is not beta it surely is getting the same web browser while vita might not because it a beta not all beta come out and wii u is confirmed that it coming so i don’t see the fucking point (and yeah my grammar sucks deal with it)
My biggest issue with the 3DS browser, is that it doesn’t hae enough memory to fully load most web pages… Same problem te Wii had.
YESSSS!!! HATED THAT (even though I sent 1200-1500 hours on my wii browser.. I use to use it every day but sine Youtube’s recent update I can no longer watch YouTube on it (except youtube XL. It sucks. YouTube is not supported by the Wii now. Since a month or 3 weeks. But we are getting the Wii U soon. But I hated that “No more memorie
YESSSS!!! HATED THAT (even though I sent 1200-1500 hours on my wii browser.. I used it every day be cause i hate being on computers. That is the reason why I could never be come a computer gamer. But since Youtube’s recent update I can no longer watch YouTube on it (except youtube XL. It sucks. YouTube is not supported by the Wii now. Since a month or 3 weeks. But we are getting the Wii U soon. But I hated that “No more memory” problem.
DAMN! The Wii U web browser score higher than PS3’s browser. I wonder if the U’s browser is powered by Google Chrome? BTW, SOLD!!!!!
Nope! nintendo always uses web ,powered by opera which is a LOT more like safari! and possibly a bit of firefox!
Well not always, the 3DS for example is based off NetFront.
i think they’ll go with a netfront browser, like they did on the 3DS
Nintendo is in partnership with Youtube and they said it will be “Chrome” based + HTML5, thats highly likeable.
Source?
That’s great, but I don’t really care, considering I don’t plan on using it much, if at all… I have a laptop or smartphone for web browsing.
Same.
It will help you save on electricity bill how that sound eh eh :)
If sites like this that and the other work on the wiiu gamepad its RIP laptop for me lol
Yea but here is not talking about browsing while playing which is a big plus feature of the wiiu, example you can play on the pad but you prefer to play on the screen you have to go to the bath but not play you take your pad you take a dumb while reading a biased ign review (disclaimer ign news may cause diarea or xtreme costipation)
HAHAHA ”OMG a 6.5 ??? *shits himself* ” XD
Yeah i seriously am gunna stop using my laptop and PC and just use the gamepad for all my internet worries. It does youtube it does everything..
LOL really good joke guys but the only thing it can”t do is download image and upload which isn’t a big deal for me anyway because this is a gaming console not a computer
I agree, but say you want to look up cheat codes (Most gamers don’t, only for fun when they do) the Wii U automatically copies the game’s title and you can have a “quick search” if you will. I would assume many people wouldn’t use the browser considering they have Miiverse “a finger away” to ask their question and look for cheats. Someone contact someone about “gamers” not being a real word, we need to get that added into the dictionary…
Awesome news.
Ok I get it! The Wii U is awesome.
Internet Explorer fails as usual lol. I love using Opera.
Anyway the Wii U web browser will be great !
Then you are in luck wiiu browser is opera based
how do you know? there has been no such confirmation
this source claims it’s based on webkit which would exclude opera
http://www.ign.com/wikis/wii-u/Internet_Browser
it could be a netfront browser like the 3DS one
built with webkit*
Is better or worst?
i doubt it makes much of a difference.. it all depends on how well you adapt it for the respective device

Nintendo, seriously…just stop.
You had me at “Hello”
As soon as they said “we have a new console” my money was already being thrown at the employees faces at EB Games.
I doubt I’ll use the wii u web browser considering I have a laptop, but it’d be nice for if I ever have to get my laptop repaired, so this is good news overall.
Is not a pc browser replace but it helps things done also extremele good for a console
Yes fast porn wuhuuuu

Black Wii U- My name is Black Ops (No relation to the game) I can do everything a PS360 can do, while sleeping!( Game being played on gamepad, ergo system kind of gets a break) and everyone knows black runs faster, so SMD Xbox 360.
Non-specific action figure approves your comment, Reggie!
http://i1.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/010/506/figure1.jpg
I approve of yours! That means Non-specific action figure approves of it as well, you sir drive a solid bargain!
I just want it to play youtube videos and that’s it.
you can with this.
If they put a Youtube app on the Wii U, I better see it on 3ds as well.
Your hired! Your fired for not saying that 1 minute earlier! We will keep the idea though.
Damn imma gonna have to steal someone’s WiiU soon if it comes out since I missed out on preordering and their isnt any dedicated gamestore in my area, you better not live near me…lol :(
Why still one when you can get one free, with a low low payment of $299.99! Idiot; “Wow it’s free, and all I have to do is pay a low low payment of $299.99? That’s what I call a bargain!” *Throws cash (Over $1000)* Clerk: “Chump! Gets’em every time.”
Steal* Even Reggie (I) make mistakes!
It’s not a matter of money but a matter of obtaining one on launch day, I bet I have more money than you fake Reggie..
Haha no, I have preordered a deluxe Wii U and all 21 of the launch day games, and I plan on getting them all on day one, I don’t use lay-away like you.
So you forgot 2
Well although I wont be getting a WiiU this year I do in fact will be playing awesome games that are coming out for PS3 (Last of Us and GTA5) to hold me until I get one, It’s good not being a fanboy..lol
oh! and I highly doubt you preorder ll those games..
Those 2 games alone will destroy any shit released on the Wii U :)
Ah the joys of not riding Nintendo’s dick.
@Jellybean, I’m happy I’m not a sony fanboy either….
@Jellybean, I’m also happy I’m not a Sony fanboy either….
I’m not a fanboy of anything. I more so game on PC than consoles.
I play games on Nintendo, Sony and PC. Just because I like Sony games better does not mean I’m a fanboy. I enjoy all. Just the WIi U line up is shit.
ok sorry for assuming, I guess I just made an ass out of myself :/ , but in my personal opinion the line up isn’t so bad for others. Well to each their own :)
Eh, all good, now that I look at it, it probably did sound a bit sony fanboyish.
wow jellybean you are worse then the other trolls on this topic pc sucks for gameing psvita sucks at every thing oh and you suck as a person
Shut the fuck up and stop riding Nintendo’s dick.
You’re an embarrassment.
You still can get it on walmart though D: it……OVER $400 AND $450!!!!!!!!!!!!! damn it
Reblogged this on Gigable – Tech Blog.
Where’s Aeolus now?! XD
We sent an army of Pikimin and Pokemon his way… They should have taken him ou….- I just saw a hyperbeam and many rock pikmin flying through the air… Yea he should be dead.
Probably asleep or not at a computer?
Dont lie you have it under your bed
Seeing as Aeolus lives in America and I live in Australia?
Nintendo fanboys mustn’t have very high IQ’s.
Good to know you know where your boyfriend is thats commitment
I have a girlfriend buddy. Something you’ll probably never get.
Is almost 3am in australia and you Are in a site acting like a idiot expose
It’s 11:49am you fucking idiot.
^job less job less
Nope. I work in IT buddy. The beauty of being an IT manager :)
I can surf the net while still doing my work :)
Right …….. you must be the rreason the ps3 is easily hacked ,DO YOUR JOB!!!!
Wow, you really have no idea about the IT industry do you? IT managers don’t really have any say in how the PS3 is made. Hardware Engineers and Software Engineers are the ones you more so would likely speak to.
You sir, are an idiot.
Also i forgot to turn on your ass gps so i forgot where you live
*this comment comes from my 3DS web browser*
I just got a 434 and 13 bonus points out of 500 on this test for my browser, so…….Wii U is almost there!
What browser?
I wish Aeolus would come on this post and give Nintendo credit where credit is due, since he’s always bitching about it…
Lol! I want a Wii U already darn it!

i wish i could get the wii u deluxe on launch. but im just going to wait for ebay or amazon to have it. *on 3ds internet*
well obviously internet explorer is gonna score low. that is microsoft’s weakness
It cant play AAC and MP3. How can we watch youtube?
AAC and MP3 are audio only.
Wii U supports H.264 and MPEG-4 through the web browser.
Also even the 3ds support a wide range of audio codecs so why not the wiiu

Good, as expected of a next gen console
This is awesome news! The Wii U is such a beast at $300. Now when will they tell us about the online. Didn’t they say they would have a Nintendo Direct before the console launches?
Lol they have ben telling whit the miiverse but ppl is not listening
So I’m guessing the higher the score the better the browser is
I hope Nintendo makes us jizz in our pants every year lol…
So….can i watch porn on this? Redtube is calling me.
On a serious note, this is very good news. Surfing the net will be an integral part of the Wii U experience. It’s gonna be huge. Leave luck to heaven.
I wonder if you can install 3rd part web browsers on it. I love Firefox. Chrome is awesome too.
*party
Who care,i hope i can dl videos and music
