A shame that they implemented a broken localStorage.

Interesting that it is no longer Opera, but WebKit under the hood according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wii_U_Internet_Browser

If as he describes "the data is wiped when the browser is closed", then i think Wii U implemented "SessionStorage".

But it's exposed as window.localStorage, which is just plain wrong.

It's NetFront WebKit though, so don't get your hopes too high.
