Update: Some believe that the picture above might have been photoshopped. Obviously, if the image was indeed photoshopped, the news originally reported may also turn out to be false. Looks like we’ll have to wait for December to roll around, or an official statement from Opera/Nintendo to see if this update is the real deal.

– Can have six tabs open at once (can be made invisible)
– View Wii mail from the browser
– Available in December for 500 points
– Owners of the browser do not have to pay for the upgrade

2D Boy confirmed today that World of Goo will be available on WiiWare in Europe. The game will most likely release in December for about 1500 Wii points, the same price as it is in North America. Previously, the game was scheduled to release only as a retail version with some extra content, but that is no longer the case. 2D Boy also states that the PC version will be available “at the time as the retail release.”
