Nintendo Channel launched in the US

As of today, the Nintendo Channel is available to download and use in North America. It aims to provide promotional information on new Wii and DS releases like videos, interviews with Shigsy and game demos.

Nintendo are also using this channel to collect your feedback, after playing a game for half hour or more you can give it a rating. If your Wii has the Internet Channel, you can also click through and order games.

Some shortcuts can be used while in the Nintendo Channel:

  • + and - buttons: go back
  • B trigger: scroll on pages
  • 1 and 2 buttons: pause videos
  • B trigger: seek in a video

Europe will also be getting this channel in just over three weeks, on May 30th.

Perfect, now I can criticise them for their lack of control on games like they used to have.

I love this channel! I haven't downloaded any DS demos but I've found two games I'm really hoping to get. The only thing that could make this channel better was if they had a fast forward button.

Nice shortcuts! Didn't try the trigger (was holding the Wheel at the time, that's my excuse).
