Wii Forcast Channel Review

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: Forcast Channel
Cost: Zilch
Handiness: 7/10

everyone needs to know the the weather. It's a necessity. But it's available everywhere these days. On TV, on the internet, even on phones.But is it worth getting on Wii?


The forecast channel should be built in if you haven't already updated, so I guess there is no real answer to that question.

As soon as you enter the channel your greeted with the current temperature for your area, but it can be updated every hour, so you get the closest temperature to the current time. This means that the temperature can be very wrong and will fool you if you don't look at the temperature times.

In the corner of the screen you see 'Globe'. This zooms out and shows the entire Earth in a Google Earth type way.
You can grab the Earth and spin it around just for your amusement.
It shows you the weather of so many pointless places. Who would want to see the weather in Antarctica?!

When you click on one of the of the cities, you get to see the weather there as well.


If you want your able to see the five day forecast. Now I have to be honest with you. This is far from accurate. Most of the time the predictions are completely wrong, but the current weather is always right of course.

It also tells you the UV rating if your interested (you should be)

So overall, I think the forecast channel is fine to see the current weather, but pretty average overall.
