If you don't buy Okami, you're part of the problem.

LinkyshinksI 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.

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.

noneLetting 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.

noneI 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.

UdkIt'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

noneIt'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.
