monday's almost over, where's the update??? can we expect delays to continue???

Looking forward to these channels but I want the Web Browser channel even more!

This is sounding very cool. I can't wait until all of this is out

i'm glad. between the 360 & now the wii...seems like companies are making a better, more enjoyable online experience.

helluvagood thats kinda cool, but ps3 has more functinos ------- And you have more lame*** opinions. S P A M

Amen Gamepro2421

helluvagood please dont post on nintendo news items...no one cares what you have to say about the ps3

I'd rather have the Channels, perfected before they're released, Sony & Microsoft Fanboys can go ahead and talk smack if they want. but wouldn't you guys like for the PS3 to put out a new update to fix Backward Compatability? there might be a download to fix it and when the XBOX360 came out they had trouble with XBOXLive, but they fixed it over a little time, thus leading to my point Updates are good! taking more time to fix something, is also good!

thats kinda cool, but ps3 has more functinos

For me, think of it as, real tv. Channel come often to let you experiance more new "info' or "entertainment". So, just think of it as a real TV guide. :D

Yeah, like everybody else says, it would be nice and simple to check the weather or the news on the Wii, but, you can easily check that on your PC too. So, it's not a problem for me either. ;)

just give me super mario 64 nd im fine

just give me zelda im fine with the rest

i wonder if we can use the ds usb connector?

Yes you need broadband. If you have a wireless network, the Wii will pick it up right away. Very simple. For people that don't have a wireless network. Nintendo will be releasing a USB adapter that you put into a USB slot on your PC. The Wii will detect it and connect to it.

"so will i be able to use any online at all with dial up or do i need dsl or cable internet for wii shop and the others?" I would imagine that a broadband connection is required for any online functionality, much like the 360 and PS3.

It could be worse. Plus it's not like its never going to work, they are just working out the bugs before it is set up. I'm still looking forward to getting mine on Sunday.

so will i be able to use any online at all with dial up or do i need dsl or cable internet for wii shop and the others?

its not too bad

All is good

that's okay with me. i wasnt planning on using the news and forecast channels frequently.

hurry

well i probly wont check the weather or anything and even if i wanted to i have a computer for that. im rly into the wii for mii and its games. but i suppose ill occasionally use the other features.

This isn't bad, after all I'm buying the Wii for the games, not for the Weather Forecast and News. I can wait for those features. It be nice if they had it for day one but I'd rather them get it right the first time then to get it and then thy take it off cause they are having problems. What do you guys think?

well at least we will have VC!!

sounds good. At least they said it before launch. If it was said any later, it would've looked bad.

big deal i doubt i will ever look at the news/weather on there aside from checking to see what its like and im not gonna get any virtual console games right away so not much effect on me

AHhhh man I hate waiting

Not affecting too much people...

ah well i wont be using the forecast channel, news channel i might use that sonetimes but it isnt really affecting the functionality of the system. But hey at least we'll get to play the games we want to play on it :) plus im getting the wii for xmas so it wont affect me at all :)

None of this bothers me in the least. While I like the additions of the news and weather channels, as well as the free Opera-based browser, I have no need for any of them; I just want to hit up the Virtual Console. Man, this does remind me that I still need to look into a wireless router. . .My current modem/gateway proved incompatible with my DS, so if the same goes for the Wii, I'll have some more shopping to do.

I think Nintendo should use the News Channel for updates of upcoming Nintendo games and everything else Nintendo. That will be sweet.

I've already got my Wii paid off, but the lack of the forecast feature bugs me a little. I thought it would be nice to be able to boot up my Wii, check the forecast for snow or rain so that I know what to prepare for in the day (I'm a college student with no TV connection, and it'd be faster to turn on my Wii than wait for my PC to boot up. But still, its no biggie.

very nice. from a month to once a week (VC update)

I personally don't care about the weather in Africa, nor am I interested in world news as I play my gaming systems. This will not affect the Wii at all....

JFreezy02 get ur facts right. tts a problem with the production line which is why only 400k ps3 are available. having millions billions wun help if the factories cant produce the machines on time. at least sony is willing to make a show out of it...despite the low num of ps3 available...

Could be worse, they could of just delayed the wii til march haha. Its all about the games!! whooarrr!

How nice to tell us AT THE LAST MINUTE!!!!!!!! The big N is no better than the other 2.........

Hmmm....Well I'm not getting mine until the 25th December so, HEYHEY! I don't lose out much :D

Don't know about you guys, but I don't plan on even seeing the sunlight until I beat Zelda: TP!!! So i'm not upset at all!! Oh, and I know why Sony could only put out 400,000 at launch, BECAUSE THEY SPENT MILLIONS JUST MAKING A STUPID SHOW OUT OF IT!!!

bys2 your wrong 100% the wii is not last gen last gen is gamecube ps2 and xbox so shut it , wii is the best next gen system cause it offers new games not updates just on old franchises like ps3 mostly will

Well this doesn't really matter.. who is buying the Wii just for the News and Forecast channels anyway? Besides.. we'll all be way too busy playing Twilight Princess!

why do we need a weather channel for the wii were gamers we dont go out side

how is the wii a past generation console? it is the only system that is doing anything besides getting prettier, with the new controller and all. nintendo has always taken risks.....and for the most part they have been worth it. last generation console?...wrong.

I am not making fun of the Wii at all. I find it to be an awesome system. But this further proves the point that both sony and Nintendo had no clue how hard it was going to be to get an online system to work. Sony had the same problem.

Sweet cxant wait for it! PS:BYS2 Learn to spell before you make fun of THE Wii

Oh well...thats not what Im getting a Wii for anyway. I wish everyone would get their stories straight and not be saying this stuff a day and a half before launch (like PS3 has 200 non-backward compatable games.).

lol.. man, he wii is like a past generation console and they still can't get everything set up in time...
