In the early morning a new channel popped up in the Wii software page in the shopping channel.

Dogs or Cats?

Is this really the best Nintendo can come up with? Where is the online multi-player shooty channel?

Let's come up with alternative polls that we would like to see on the Wii Channel...
I'll start:

Nancy - Shaven or Au Naturale?
Up the Arse - Optional or a Pre-Requisite?
Swallow or Spit?
Sinking the Brown or the Pink?

etc etc

Nintendo or Sega?

Obvious one:

"Twlight Princess" or "Ocarina of Time"

Im overjoyed....dispite the lameness of this channel this is EXACTLY what Nintendo has to do.
Totaly unexpected, unannounced features downloaded to our Wii's as a supprise.

Of course, the whole download thing needs to be more seemless mind.
There should be options for news, weather, and votes to be exchanged while on standby.

Well it's well done for what it is but I have to be honest this sort of thing isn't gonna keep me coming back to the Wii.

Pain in the arse to get going though. Lets see:

Go into Shop channel, listen to elevator music while downloading.

Run program.

Discover that I need a system update.

Go into settings and update the system.

Set my region again.

Run program.

Shouldnt this be something more like:
Blue glow! New channel downloaded.

Well, to be fair, the email sent to your Wii tells you to update first, and has a link on the page to update.

Also I wouldnt want things automaticaly downloaded...not when memory is finite.

Setting the region again was stupid though. (just how its stupid in WiiSports to tell it your right handed EVERY SODDING TIME!?? And in Zelda is asked you to check your tv EVERY TIME...whats with Nintendo and inserted pointless screens?).

And once downloaded. we shouldnt wait for any channel to load imo.
It should get the data of the net when on standby.

I thought WiiConnect24 was supposed to do all this in the background?

Not that I do that though. Evil standby modes.

Although it's1 silly and pointless I love the slickness of it.

Yeah, ALL it does it collect emails on standby.
Its being hugely wasted.
