Nintendo Channel Launches in the US

Good to see it. Not long for us Europeans now.

...Oh feck, better update my thread.

looks nice it will be easier watching interviews on the wii than searchin for then on the internet

so that's why my wii was glowing this morning... should of checked it before I left for work.

Nice it would be better if we actually got to play the demos instead of watching them... but hey ho!

I wonder what DS demos they have available today.

\"You can even click to order games straight from your Wii, if you have the Internet Channel installed\"

Surely they mean Wii Ware or the VC ?

They mean it takes you to the internet browser and take you straight to an online shop where you can buy the chosen game from.

Maybe both?

If they have done this, this is very new and I am surprised Nintendo are making alliances with specific online retailers this way.

I had heard they were doing this I recall faintly after the channel launched in Japan, but I thought it would only be their region.

Good news for Nintendo, this is another means to get more money from the best games, and quickly also.

I hear you have to have spent a hour with a game before you can review it. I hope those reviews help sell the best games that did not sell very well, those like Metroid P3. If they are putting third party titles on their too they should help give Zack and Wiki a lift also.

*Endless Ocean*

Letting people rate after playing the games is a hugely good idea. But personaly I think it should require more then an hour.
(It takes more then an hour to truely get into games like Corruption. And stuff like Twlight Princess an hour barely skratchs the surface).


But yes, I hope this helps games like Zack and Wiki sale more. (utterly fantastic game indeed. Pure madness).
Also, I hope this generation dosnt get another "Eternal Darkness" incident. Games which are highly groundbreaking in their genre, yet barely make any impact.

Yeah i downloaded it right before i left for school. didnt get much time with it, but i did see the DS demo list, and to my pleasure Ninja Gaiden is on it. ive been wanting to try that one out.

I downloaded it early this morning for my parents' brand spanking new Wii, and I gotta say, the Nintendo Channel kicks serious ass. I love it. Can't wait to get home from work so I can download it on my Wii.

Another more detailed Walkthrough;



Gonna stick this one up in the Nintendo Channel Thread.

My Wii has blue lights shining at me now. Looking forward to installing the channel tonight.

Bastards!! So do they have WiiWare as well?!?!

They'll probably have Wiiware in a week or so.

12th May. Not sure what games they get.

is anyone having problems with connecting to the WiiShop?
I am...

It\'s cool. When I left home yesterday in the morning I saw the shining blue light. But I didn\'t pay attention and left a note saying \"Please check the message.\"

It was until I got home that I was able to download the channel \'cause my brothers can\'t do a single thing .

I took my time and it\'s really cool. I love it , simply magnificent!

PS: Yeah I\'ve had problems, but then I wait a little and it\'s gone

It's pretty snazzy. I've only watched a couple videos and played a few demos so far, but it looks pretty cool. I'm thinking I'll check this at least every week or so. The DS demos are nice.

I haven't checked out any of the reviews or anything else on it yet. I'm looking forward to seeing what all you can on this. I'm impressed as it is.
