I just received a letter from Nintendo saying that they have created a new channel called the Voting channel! From the looks of things, it looks like a poll channel where you answer several questions.
OK, so the new channel is called "Everybody votes" channel. The channel is basically a polling section in which you and 5 other people can register and answer questions of interests, then you can predict which option will be the winner.
First, you must run the system update. It basically allows you to use the channel. After you are done with the update, go to the Wii shop channel, then select "Wii ware". In there select "Everybody votes".
After the download is finished the system asks you to register your region. After that, you are told to select the Miis you want to use. Like I said, up to six users can be registered.
How it works
First there are the active polls section. In here you are given some questions for you (and anyone else you have registered on your channel). Once you select a question, your registered Miis will appear. In order to answer the question you must select the Mii then drag it to the question. After you select the answer, the channel will ask you if you want to predict the outcome of the answer. As in the first option, you must drag your Mii to the answer.
Options
Register Miis: Self explanatory
Voter data: In here you will see the Mii's stats, such as questions answered, how many predictions you got right and such.
Suggest a question: As the name states, you suggest one question to Nintendo, along with two possible answers. You only submit one question per day.
Worldwide polls: Questions that have been sent all around the world can be answered here.
And finally, there's Recent results and Poll history.
This is what I have so far.

My system update didn't take that long at all, the channel requires an update for some "region" reason. You have to tell it what region you live in in the Wii System settings...and by region it means which state you live in
From what it says, it just ask you questions and let your opinion be heard around the world....you can select a Mii to represent yourself
Actually, you could say this is the first online game on the Wii

Like I mentioned, the question are mainly questions of interest. Like right now one of the questions is "Which is a more romantic Valentine's gift, roses or chocolates?". The deepest question so far is "Which century would you live in, the 19th century or the 21st century?".
Like I mentioned in the first post, you CAN suggest questions. I doubt they will allow something overly political, but they can allow deeper questions.

Right now they are only asking interest questions.
But imagine philosophy questions, political questions, Virtual Console request votes and so on, it has huge potential to be able to give Nintendo and us a reasonable amount of data, and its just silly fun.

In a somewhat related note, I wish the new system update (required to download this new channel) added the ability to customize the Wii GUI color scheme. I'm really liking the way this "Everybody Votes Channel" looks with the black buttons.
Post by: NWR_pap64 on February 13, 2007, 02:41:48 PM
If used right, this channel could help Nintendo a lot and many gamers would benefit from it.
Post by: Pittbboi on February 13, 2007, 02:51:25 PM
Though I must say, I'm a little disappointed that they chose to create this channel instead of fixing some of the current issues with WiiConnect24.

But I dunno, on the flip side there are just so many things I could see Nintendo improving (fixing the weather channel, allowing external hard drive connection through usb ports, patching broken VC games, improving their online, adding channels people actually WANT and have requested, the list goes on) instead of spending resources introducing a channel that nobody knew about and/or wanted.
Post by: Smash_Brother on February 13, 2007, 03:53:05 PM
The real issue is that all the questions are either/or right now. If they could make it like an internet poll where you have 5-10 options to suggest from, I could see some real use out of it, yes. For example, "which of the following VC games would you want to buy the most?"
Also, it would be nice if they let users post their own polls that would allow everyone on their friend list to vote on, it would be a neat addition.

To you, maybe, but I could see some other people enjoying this. In fact, out of all the non gamer features the Wii has, this is the biggest one of them all. Just think of the Wii as being a News paper.The weather and news channel are the useful parts while the Everybody votes is the arts and leisure session; not necessary but fun to pass the time with.
And Pittboi, they also released a patch for Mario Kart 64, so on that aspect they are working on it.

IGN posted some interesting ideas for channel. if I remember correctly they were...
- The Sports channel (a more detailed version of the sports section in the news channel)
- The movies and trailers channel: Using the region feature you can check the movie times in your area as well as watch trailers of the latest movies on your Wii
- The demo channel: This HAS to come at one point. The channel allows you to download DS demos onto your DS.
- The sticks channel: Check the stocks, for the bussinesy type
The Wikipedia channel would be nice.

Post by: Spak-Spang on February 14, 2007, 03:53:34 AM
What do you think about the Virtual Console Pricing?
They are great as is, and a good bargain
They could be priced lower, so I could afford more games.
Followed by another question
Would you buy more Virtual Console games if the pricing scheme was:
200 NES, 300 TG16, 500 SNES, 800 N64, 1000 Original
Yes or No.
Ok, I know that the Pricing Scheme question would need to be broken down to single system questions probably.
What do you think about pricing for NES games on the Virtual Console?
1) I like the prices, it is a steal.
2) At 200 or 300 points I would buy more games
What do you think about the SNES game prices on the Virtual Console?
1) I like the prices
2) I believe 500 points is a better deal.
ect.
Or how about this virtual console question.
Would you support and buy Sega Master System games on the Virtual Console?
1)Yes, if the price is good.
2)No, that system does not interest me.

Post by: Spak-Spang on February 14, 2007, 04:08:36 AM
Actually I agree.
I think we should as NWR community join together, and pick questions about the virtual console to submit to Nintendo every day. We even need to double and triple up each question for about a month to get Nintendo really understanding what their fans think.
If we can get Nintendo to drop virtual console prices in the summer I think it would bring Nintendo more success in the long run.
Post by: JonLeung on February 14, 2007, 04:36:11 AM
The NWR community isn't very big, and you should know that Nintendo does its own thing. It'd be as effective as a petition, basically. Maybe a bit more since they know every submitted question is coming from a Wii owner. I suppose it doesn't hurt if you're willing to put in the couple minutes each day to write them out. And Nintendo will take notice if there is enough of an outcry. But when it comes to things like pricing, don't expect them to necessarily budge just because a handful of people tell them they should lower it. Heck, everyone wants lower prices, but some people won't actually buy more games just because of it.
Despite that, I might help sometimes if I had no other ideas for questions and someone had a clear campaign in mind.

I remember when we discussed if Nintendo could access our play history from our message boards, but now we don't really know. However, a poll is certainly handy for Nintendo to track what we like.
Given the Wii's "new gamer" philosophy, questions about the Wii or games itself might be intimidating. However, if they were in a category all their own, it would be okay. However, they might think that people would take it as a sign that Nintendo would necessarly do something to appeal to the popular choices, so then they'd probably put up a disclaimer if people did take the questions too seriously or felt that Nintendo wasn't. :P
There's always some trouble. So instead we're getting simple and innocent questions like if you like dogs or cats. Then again... Nintencats, anyone? (Or Kittendo, whatever.)

Hate is such a strong word, though, he's just not a fan of the genre. He did say that he prefers real time action RPGs, which is still part of the RPG family.
Post by: Spak-Spang on February 14, 2007, 09:43:26 AM
The portable Mario RPGs
The original Paper Mario
Secret of Mana series
Chrono Trigger
I remember playing Super Mario RPG on the SNES and I enjoyed the game. It actually felt like a true Mario game, and that is what captivated me.
I am really disappointed I can only ask one question at a time. I will make a list of the questions I want to ask and slowly go through them one each day then rinse and repeat.
Post by: stevey on February 14, 2007, 10:09:42 AM
I like the idea of submitting questions together but they can't be stuff like "do you want cheap VC games" since they are too one sided, but they should still be win win for us like
What games would you like to see on the VC?
1 Neo Geo games! - 2 More Nintendo64 games.

Correct.
I was just playing the original Secret of Mana and enjoying it very much because it actually engages me and forces me to use my reflexes to dodge enemy attacks and out maneuver enemies and bosses alike. I just beat the two werewolves who had my new party member cornered despite the fact that my lower level placed me at a severe disadvantage against them. My trick? I ignored the usual strategy of allowing your melee attack to recharge and pinned them with a rapidly-swinging weapon to keep them from healing each other
Turn-based RPGs, on the other hand, might as well just ask you to press a button to see the next portion of the sub-par, inevitable, clichéd storyline. Had SoM been turn-based, the game would have demanded that I ran around getting into random monster attacks for hours until my level was high enough to defeat these werewolves instead of allowing me to outwit them and earn my next party member earlier.
And to keep on topic, I have a question for the poll:
I think turn-based RPGs:
1. Suck
2. Suck hard
Post by: Slab on February 14, 2007, 12:46:53 PM
1) yes
2) yes, too damn much.

Post by: Spak-Spang on February 14, 2007, 01:23:00 PM
I asked:
Would you buy more Virtual Console games if the prices were cheaper?
1)Yes
2)No
At first it still sounds one sided. But be honest. I have bought everything I wanted at this price basically...so I would honestly have to answer No...because Nintendo would probably still get my money. Also some people will never use the virtual console feature, because they just don't care about old games...so that is a No as well.
Then there are people that would buy more games be it they can just afford to buy more...or they think they are overpriced and won't buy them until a price drop occurs.

Dogs do tend to have more meat in their bones.
Also, cat meat is only reserved for special occasions and for fancy restaurants due to how delicate their meat is.
Post by: JonLeung on February 16, 2007, 06:25:42 AM
One strange fact that I've always remembered is that some kind of green beans expand dog meat. It's supposedly possible to feed green beans to someone who just made a meal out of a dog and their stomach could rip apart fatally. Serves them right!
Anyway, I STILL don't have my Wii back from Nintendo of Canada so I'm STILL missing out. Did anyone make a campaign of submitting particular questions about things they'd like to see?

Everyday my "poll" isn't a question with answers, but rather three separate statements, something like do more to encourage 3rd party vc content, get online play and scoreboards, or translate unreleased rpgs. I dont even phrase it as a question.
The stats and actual polls are nice, but I think this channel has more use as a feedback channel.

Everyday my "poll" isn't a question with answers, but rather three separate statements, something like do more to encourage 3rd party vc content, get online play and scoreboards, or translate unreleased rpgs. I dont even phrase it as a question.

What did you guys think of the latest set of questions?
This is what I picked:
1. How tall are you?: Above average
2. Do you like your name?: Yes
3. The next American Idol winner will be a: Girl
4. Which smell worse?: Old socks
I chose socks because I've yet to encounter bad breath that would dethrone the smell of old, sweaty socks.

The height question is kind of odd. If most people don't pick average, I'll be surprised.
I have a complaint about this channel now. I didn't get to see the results of the questions I didn't answer. I don't eat breakfast, so I couldn't answer the teeth brushing question, and I don't like to watch any sports on TV, so I didn't answer that one. That doesn't mean I wouldn't find the results interesting, though, Nintendo!

QuoteYou already have a very easy ways to send "messages" to Nintendo. Their Contact Us! webpage. Comon, you can type an email can't you? feedback@nintendo.com and support@nintendo.com Or you could always just call them at 1-800-255-3700 and _politely_ give them a piece of your mind.

QuoteChances are, just like with the Forecast Channel and News Channel, they've got a separate company supporting the Everybody Votes channel. So in all likely hood, Nintendo is never going to see your "statements".

Besides, what's so hard about writing an e-mail? If you can "type" three cryptic statement "questions" everyday with your Wii-mote on the Vote channel. Then you can type three coherent and explained suggestions in an email to Nintendo everyday, which will actually be read by Nintendo. You'll probably spend less time typing too.

Some people might be like that, but others--like me--prefer what they're accustomed to.

I won't. Average and median are very different. An extreme example to demonstrate my point would be five people who're 4 feet and another five who're 6 feet. The average is 5 feet, but everyone is of unaverage height.
Besides that, the question regards perception. It's possible that enough people may in their minds exagerate their height's difference from the average to skew the results.
