Wii, meet goo: Japanese web portal offers content for Internet Channel

goo, a Japanese search engine and content portal (think Yahoo!, but without the silly na-- oh, never mind), has unveiled a content channel optimized for the Wii Internet Channel and featuring exclusive stuff for Wii users. Right now, the only new Wii-specific content is found in the far-left link, which goes to a series of quizzes. The other links just go to the kids' goo portal and the games content portal, respectively.

A bunch of Japanese quizzes may not be what English-speaking Wii owners want, but it's nice to see the nearly-forgotten Wii Internet Channel get some support.
