The browser also features a miniature floating TV screen that is currently showing the trailer to Pokemon The Movie 2000 and will web-cast other Nintendo-related media in the future.

MediaBrowser also released a Mario Tennis Browser this month, available at www.mariotennis.com and is developing additional Nintendo custom browsers for release later this year and early 2001 with themes like Legend of Zelda, Nintendo Power, and Paper Mario.
