That's not a Wiiware game, it's the original version emulated through the homebrew channel.

Very much no.

I agree they do, but this would give them a section to highlight something like clash of the titans and expound on it a little more. Instead of just mentioning it in passing. But I would not want that to stop them from mentioning it in the first place. Just a little area where they can stop and show some clips from the mentioned material and go in detail on it instead of actually derailing the show to do so.

Hey again. Here's a bit of browser usage, outside of just your question.

Launch the browser, and it opens up nearly instantly (the Wii browser takes way too long to load, IMHO).

Hit Start and type in a URL, google.com, then hit Start again to close the window, and it will load the page.

Move the cursor (d-pad, left analog stick, or mouse) to the search field and press X (or left mouse button). Type in a search word and hit Start. Then move the cursor to the Search button and press X (or left mouse button).

OK, from here, you have your list of results. Go to the first one, then press and hold X on it. It opens up the page in a new window/tab. Press L2 to go back to the Google search results page. Move the cursor onto another result, and press and hold X to open it in a third tab. You can switch between the tabs quickly and easily with L2 and R2, or by pressing in the left thumbstick to get an overhead view of all open pages. This functionality has won be over, and makes using the Wii browser difficult, as I can never go back to untabbed web browser, even on a PC. :D

You can scroll the pages using the arrow keys of a keyboard, the right analog stick, the d-pad, or the left analog stick. I generally only use the right analog stick, as it's dedicated to page scrolling, while the others actually move the cursor. I think the Page Up and Page Down work as well, and probably the mouse scroll wheel (I don't use a mouse, only tested it once and can't recall).

OK, so say you hit a YouTube link from a forum post or whatever. It'll pop up asking if you want to run the plugin (Flash). Hit X to say yes. It'll load the video up. Put the cursor over the video, and then press in the Right thumbstick, and it'll automatically zoom to fit the Flash player to the full height of your screen. You can do this on images too, and if either are 16:9 or 4:3 ratio, they'll fill your entire screen (whatever ratio your TV is). The scaling isn't bad either. OK, so you can zoom in on any page, picture, etc by using the right thumbstick button, and in this zoom mode, you can zoom in or out further using the L2 and R2 buttons.

If you want to go back a page, hit L1, and as you would imagine, R1 would move you forward a page.

There are a bunch of configurable options as well, such as resolution and text size and stuff, so you can adjust it and get something that you're happy with.

All of this is from memory (I'm ACTUALLY on a PC at this time) so I might have mislabeled a button or two there, but it's really quite easy, and I'm sure it's pretty close if not accurate. I really like the browser a lot, and I don't understand why it gets such hatred from other people (I think I'm the only one of my friends who uses it extensively). Of course, I know a bunch of people who hate the Wii browser too, but I really liked using it before I had my PS3, so I kinda think you'd be in the same boat as me. I just wish they would fix the lockups, and the other issue is not unique to the Wii or PS3, and that is that Adobe/Macromedia's Flash is very old. This isn't something Sony or Nintendo directly can fix, as Flash for Embedded Devices is still stuck in the 7.0 era, while everyone else has moved on to Flash 9.0+. Thankfully, YouTube and other sites stuck with 7.0 - for now.
