The Nintendo Channel Launches

[BreakABone]

Basically, the Nintendo Channel is whatever is on XBL that aren't demoes and stuff.

So it is the place on the Wii to get information on the latest games. Videos, trailers. interviews, segments, commercials and DS demoes.

Ninja Gaiden DS is pretty sweet. May buy it now.

Yeah, it's a nice addition. Kind of frustrated that the DS download and play didn't come sooner since it was announced as a feature of Wii before launch. Better late than never though.

I haven't actually taken a look at it yet, though, so I'll have to browse it when I get home.

So wait, you can now download demos to your DS from this new Wii channel?

Im definatley going to check this out when I get home tomorrow...

That guy talking for Shigeru is a little weird. For the first couple seconds it sounds like Shigeru is speaking perfect English with a spot-on regular American accent.

I've got to check this out when I get home today. :D Sounds like an awesome timewaster.

Hm, I plugged in my Wii to find out if it launched in EU as well.

The channel has been updated, I didn't use it too often so don't know many of the changes, but the ones I do know.

-You can now stream in much higher quality than before.
-They know show you total playtime for your top 50 games/channels.
-You can recommend DS and Wii games
-The Nintendo Week, a 10 minute show that takes a look at what's going on with the DS and Wii.

Seeing the time you put into each game/channel will be fun. :)
