According to a report from Norwegian-based magazine GameReactor, Nintendo is poised to roll out a updated of Opera’s Wii browser as soon as this December.

Pictured above, the new browser is said to sport a slightly revamped interface, complete with redesigned icons. Other notable additions include Wii Speak interoperability, support for checking Wii Mail from within the browser, and a tab cube that allows users to switch between up to six pages at will.

Wii Browser 2.0, as we’ll refer to it from now on, will be free to everyone that purchased the previous version. For those who did not, it’ll set you back 500 Nintendo Points.
