Nintendo Channel Review

Today the Nintendo Channel launched in Australia, and I thought: "Hey lets review this"!

Over the next few weeks I will be reviewing as many Wii Channels as possible, but only the ones that require WI-FI. These reviews are basically just to show people if the channels are worth the space or Wii Points.

Name: Nintendo Channel
Cost: Zilch
Handiness: 8/10
The Nintendo Channel has received a bit of mehs and whatevers from some people because of it's lack of content, but just like a spring flower: It can grow!

The first time you open the channel you will see a video showing off the latest game trailers, gameplay videos and interviews. This is great to keep you up to date on everything that's been going on.
My favorite thing about th channel is the videos. But when you watch for the first time they can take a little while to load.

Past the videos you can go to the find titles for you section. This is where you can search for any game you want by category or name. Once you find what your looking for it gives you a (very) brief summary of the game and other information. From that page you can also see what videos of the game have been made, and if it's a virtual console or Wii Ware title, you can download it at the press of a button!

Next up is the feedback section. The Wii knows if you've played a game more than an hour and brings up a list of those games.
You can give your feedback on those games. The feedback requires information such as gender, age, if it's for casual or hardcore, if it's better to play alone or with friends. And then you can give a rating.

So when you search by category you can search by the rating.

Lats but not least is the DS Demo Download service. This simply allows you to pick a demo off the channel, have it search for your DS, Do Download play on your DS, and then you get a free Demo!!!
This is great in my opinion, but there are only four games at the moment and they're all pretty old.
So overall I think this is the best channel by far. Sure it needs work, but if you check back each week and stay connected, your sure to get a surprise!
