What's the deal? Why did they delay the forecast and news? I'm guessing there's some sort of problem with the system so they have to work out a few bugs.

Master Foot said:

What's with all the delays and postponements!? Half the time delays don't matter because the releases are below expectations. Here's another channel to think about: traffic reports.

Wii-Worshiper said:

Annoying.

Killer Ape said:

Doesn't really matter, people won't really use the Wii forecast channel and Wii news channel. But Opera, people are going to use that.

Fox Mcloud said:

How am I supposed to fly my arwing if I don't know what the weather is like!?!

Amazon Kevin said:

Oh well. You win some, you lose some.

I'm with fox mcloud, though I don't have an arwing!

fraer jock said:

It really doesn't matter to me because I can't get on the web. But that is stupid they're taking things off.

Riley said:

Well only the real hardcore gamers are going to buy it that early and I don't think they want to look at weather, internet maybe but not weather.

Who cares, as long as we can play the games (unless they delay that!).

Ekaj185 said:

I won't even need to know the News or the Weather. I'll be inside playing LoZ:OoT. C'mon, I know a lot of other people will be doing the same.

Umm... said:

It takes a while because the features are online.

unluckylink13 said:

Well, the weather forecast will be in Japan, so maybe they're delaying it until after the japanese Wii is released? I was looking forward to booting up the Wii browser on the first day I got it though.

LOZfan said:

Man this sucks what the heck are you thinking about Nintendo!

DragonFoxCoon said:

Mr McCloud spelled his own name wrong. But this does bite; I was looking forward to chacking the weather in Tokyo.

Belcaw said:

What gives? I was looking forward to seeing what Nintendo had to offer with online straight out of the box; and all I get are a couple of classic games for the VC that I don't really feel like playing again. People are asking who will use the News and Weather? Well, I would! It's so much easier to boot my Wii than it is to boot my computer; and forget about trying the radio or TV, you never know when you're going to get the information you want. So much for Wii becoming part of my morning ritual before work.

Zelda-dude said:

At least Wii get to still play, besides there are more channels to pick from. It will probably get updated by the Christmas holiday!

Gaming God said:

Damnit Nintendo, I just had a heart attack! And now my hospital bills equal to 250 dollars, NOW I HAVE TO SELL MY Wii!

Wolf 10 said:

Well, obviously Nintendo is getting some last minute features on those channels finished.

WIIPING FOR WII said:

So are the Wiis before the date not going to have those channels or are they going to appear on?

SOBS said:

Ungrateful bastards! Seriously some of us haven't even got our Wiis yet and some people won't even get one before xmas. Yet you lot are already complaining because it temporarily can't tell you the frickin weather. JEEZ. Listen to yourselves.

DragonFoxCoon said:

I think it's not the Wiis that have these capabilities; it's Nintendo. Since their main online service won't be available to the US until they launch the Pokemon game (Lucario rocks), they sort of want to get us eager to play games online by slowly leading us in with cool features, like the already available Shop Channel. Either that, or they had a last minute meltdown at the server and had to delay it for repairs.

Dapple said:

No, think about the 'slowly leading us in' part, that's nicer than server meltdown. Don't TVs tell you the weather? And if you want the weather immediately can't you stick your head outdoors? But then again with a Wii it might be a bit hard to leave.

DragonFoxCoon said:

True; TV's tell us the weather. But can they tell us the weather in Tokyo whenever we want?

XichDick Wiitasm said:

Nintendo are looking for a service to provide the news and to an extent the weather. Methinks they have the weather business already set, they just need a news service; which is understandably a tedious task if you think about it. Both finding and convincing a group of such a huge project is going to take a bit of work.

Waz said:

Will you need an internet connection for the news and weather?

tabsina said:

No, your Wii picks up the temperature and guesses the conflicts that are taking place in the world. /sarcasm, of course you need internet to see the news.

Orpheon said:

Either wireless internet or direct Ethernet, although for the latter you will need an Ethernet adapter for the Wii.
