Nintendo Channel Launches for Wii in North America

After months of waiting, the Nintendo Channel has now launched in North America. The channel is free for download from the Wii Shop Channel, and allows users to search for, rate, view videos of, and even purchase games. If you allow it, the channel also lets Nintendo gather all kinds of information on you too, for the dark purpose of commerce, I am sure.

My favourite service so far is the DS Download Service, which allows you to download DS demos to your DS to play. Check out the Cooking Mama demo! My favourite video so far is the interview with Miyamoto.

From Nintendo:
Nintendo Channel is an interactive guide to what’s new in the world of Nintendo - now available for easy download from the Wii Shop Channel. Watch trailers, mini-documentaries, product demonstrations, and gameplay videos. Browse the game guide pages to get information about your favorite games on Wii and Nintendo DS. You can even click to order games straight from your Wii, if you have the Internet Channel installed. Make sure your Wii is connected to the internet, and get started!
