Yah, they clearly weren't planning for the Flashblock extension.
USE JAVASCRIPT!
There is one thing on this site that is best done with Flash, which is that fancy moving image thing with the videos.
...But even that could be done with Javascript and transparent PNGs. (Along with an alpha PNG hack for IE).
Heck, even those completely static buttons at the bottom of the page are done with Flash, limiting me to only one way of clicking them which I rarely use.
From the looks of it, not even Nintendo.com is accessible to my DS. (Running the only web browser available for the system, which is a text-based browser called retawq).
Since Opera on the DS also seems to be Flashless, they'd better fix this up quickly!
On the light side, I liked this line:
"Wii's elegant design makes it an inviting addition to your entertainment setup without monopolising it."
For once, I think I can safely say that they really know what they're doing.
(Except for the RAM limitations, of course).
I think it's interesting that everyone who buys a Wii seems to also be given a stylish chair with pillows that re-align themselves during intense seizures.
Grey: Be careful with that statement ;)
