Most people seemed to have looked at this as sort of a 'lame' channel. To me it was amazing. After I finally got it to work and started voting I felt something. This seems like a start of a more Wii community. Every other channel that uses online didn't have any interaction. Yeah...News, Weather, Internet was online, but you were alone. Even sending messages felt isolated. It wasn't like msn or a forum, it was kinda slow. If anyone knows Xbox Live, you get a pop up when you receive a message, in-game. I know about the blue light, but I want a pop up when I'm playing games.

If you check the 'operations guide' in the Everyone Votes Channel, you will notice under one of the section they talk about poll results. One of the pictures showed a bunch of Mii's in a giant circle, representing what they voted for. These Mii's are the Mii's of other people within your area. That is only on national polls. In Worldwide they have it sorted my countries. Tomorow one of the polls will end and I will check it out, and it would be cool to see other people's Mii in the pie chart.

Your probly thinking this is weird, but I just felt connected. Yeah the Wii is online, but the online games aren't here yet, and it's not like there is any Chat Channel. I sent Nintendo a survey suggestion which wasn't really a survey it was me asking them to put a gamer's poll section. That too felt neat, felt cool that Nintendo would look at our suggestions. If enough people ask questions instead of giving them a survey they will totally create a 'Contact Us' Channel or something...

Anyway, that's me. This new channel is very cool, if it is updated everyday it will be another reason to turn on my Wii everyday.

I'm tired, so I'm going to sleep.

I just came in to my room about an hour ago and saw the blue light. so I went into my message board and my wifi was lagging, so like usual, to speed it up I went to the update thing to do the "test connection" thing and figured it would start an update and then pop up the message that I'm already up to date, but then it actually started updating. I was wondering "What could this be?" and thinking that they need to start messaging every time there's an update to tell us what was updated. then when it was done, I went to my message board and saw the notice. I was like "What the heck?" so I finished reading and went to DL the thing. I was actually excited, even tho I didn't realy know waht it was, but I was excited because I was actually gettin something new on my Wii (ain't getting another game for a couple weeks) and also I saw the pic of all the Miis standing there so I thought that would be cool. I got it DLed and tried it out. It's actually pretty cool, the only thing needed is more questions (instead of just 3 at a time), more choices, and the ability to see the current results of a poll after u voted instead of only being able to see the results after it's completely done. As long as they add at least those first 2 options, I think it'll be REALLY cool.

yeah, I dont know about this channel yet. It's a nice idea, just glad nintendo is starting to use the Wii in some interesting ways. Hopefully they have other ideas like this in the near future. Cant wait till the polls close to see which is more popular....dogs or cats.

I went with dogs...

im really happy with this.  Maybe its just cuz we didnt know it was coming, but like december they released a new channel, then in january, and now in feb.  Will this continue?  I think its great, even if all the channels aren't AAA material, its spreading out the "abilities" of the Wii, and broadens it's appeal.

someone needs to submit a poll idea that says "Is Nintendo Kiddy?" Yes or No.
and "Do Graphics Matter?"  Yes or No.

lets end this once and for all!

I love the idea, for the short term for Nintendo's fans. This fad will grow old soon, but it is a very interesting concept and a sign of many more interesting channels to come.

I, personally, find flowers to be a better choice on Valentine's day.

I also said dogs are better but cats will probably win on the popular vote.

I also created my own question, but I also know this one will be created by many other users:

Which came first: the chicken or the egg?

Today I finally switched my Wii on again after it lit up blue. I hadn't played on it because I'm waiting on SSX Blur and playing World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade atm. Had a good look in the channel and I must say I was very surprised at how fun and interactive it was. Seriously Nintendo, good job! :D Voted on two polls already, left the third one behind 'coz I don't like eggs > AT ALL! :P

Does anyone think Nintendo will use this channel for important questions? It''s the PERFECT medium for customer feedback; whether we liked a game, whether a game idea is popular, possible new channels, basic performance... Endless possibilities for us. Let's hope some of their questions go beyond cats and dogs.
