Nintendo Wii to See New Peripherals

After upgrading the Opera trial browser to the full-featured WiiConnect, Nintendo is eyeing the possibility of releasing a Wii keyboard to make the console-TV surfing experience more appealing.

According to Game Informer, as reported here, "Nintendo's development team says that it is considering adding a keyboard peripheral to the system in order to make online surfing easier, but it has not officially announced anything at this time."

Computerandvideogames.com also reported that a third-party peripherals maker, Piranha Accessories, is going to resurrect the old Nintendo zap gun, most useful for trying to shooting Duckhunt's laughing dog in the face.

Details on Belgium-based Piranha's website, however, are few and far between - and not in English.
