    It depends on the site. If it works fully online and nothing is downloaded, and it's the right version of Flash it may work.

    However you can't store anything to the Wii, anything written specifically for IE may not work and if it's not flash it won't work.

    Looking at BlueSQ's site it says DOWNLAOD NOW so my hunch is you won';t be able to play it online through the Wii

    Sorry thats not more use.

    Memory cards are mainly used for moving saved games to friends, or storing stuff to free up the Wii's memory, nothing can be played directly from the memory card except MP3's in some games
  • ladbrokes have an online flash version of their poker room... no idea if it will work on the WII or not tho

    And it costs roughly £3.50 in points..

    No, you can't install PC software onto your Wii - you can only use websites
