Nintendo Gaming / News Channel Live
« on: January 25, 2007, 10:17:52 PM »
Just did the update, it's a whole day early lol. Even impressed with the channel icon 
Hope it's not some sort of mistake that ends up crashing my Wii ^^

Edit: Gah! The tip-cat (the cat that shows up in the photo channel) is on the News channel too! I have a feeling we're gonna be seeing that feline quite a bit in the future...
Edit 2: Just got the content downloaded and the interface is very nice. Maybe even nicer than the Forcast Channel? You can select from both National and International news, and the globe is also accessible so you can rotate the globe and see different news in different areas just by selecting the article image over that part of the world. If you zoom out enough there's actually stacks of images on top of certain key areas in the world... for instance, Washington D.C. (USA) at the moment has 114 articles and the stack is reaching pretty high off the globe
Also, different sections are selectable, like sports, arts/entertainment, business, science/health and technology.
There's still a bit more to it but hey, you can check for youself if you've got a Wii! Also won't post pics 'cause they won't come out good with a camera and I'm too lazy to set up my capture card to do some screen-captures, hehe.
