In Japan, it seems that the Wii is replacing virtually everything else in the household. You can play games with it, you can read the news with it, you can browse the Internet with it, you can watch TV on it and very soon, you'll even be able to order food with it.

The "Food Delivery Channel" is of course announced for Japan only, and will use the Demae-can.com ordering service so that Nintendo fans need not leave their little white waggle box to have pizza, sushi, curry, and plenty more international cuisine sent straight to their doorsteps.

As if that's not enough, you can even surprise yourself with a randomizing option. Helpful for indecisive people, or those with food allergies who fancy playing Russian roulette with their digestive system.

Incredible.

Japan is so progressive compared to Yanks.

I've seen such Russian Roulette games.  Fun times for all.

Cause we made such wonderful use of those Weather and News channels

The problem with this idea is that I would still have to get up off the couch and go to the door. I'm still waiting for the firmware update which will allow food to be delivered through the disk slot... Pizza might work best, maybe hotcakes.

See, I don't care what anyone says about the channels. They are very fun ways of exploring unique themes and ideas and turning them into content that makes great use of the Wii's features.

It looks as if Nintendo of America has seen the apathy given towards the current channels and decided to drop their support and only release channels that make sense in the US (like the Nintendo Channel). I can see how we don't need a TV Guide Channel, but I would like to see the Horoscope channel or even the Nintendo Movie channel since I know they will be clean and polished experiences. Plus...THEY ARE FREE!

I personally want to see that anime & manga channel come stateside.

That reminds me of the Weekenders
