The Nintendo Channel

A new Wii channel will be launching next month for everyone here stateside. The channel is called the Nintendo channel (creative). It was released last November in Japan and we will finally be getting it sometime next month.

Like the other Nintendo channels, it will be up for free download on the Wii Shop channel. This new channel will allow you to download DS demos wirelessly, the demos will stay on your DS until you turn the hand held off. It will also have videos and news about upcoming things and whats going on with Nintendo. For example, one of the videos on the Japanese channel now is of Shigeru Miyamoto talking about their new exercise game: Wii Fit. Or it will list upcoming games coming to the Wii and DS which you'll be able to sort by release date, publisher, genre and so on.

The channel will work with the new WiiWare service also releasing next month. When you download one of the new WiiWare games, after a certain time, you will be able to post a review of it on the channel.

Expect a review of the channel soon after it is released.
