Wii Channels
There are different channels on the Wii Menu. You can also add downloaded channels from the shop channel. Everything on the main
menu is also movable. Simply hold down A and B, then drag the item to desired position.
Newsletter Sign-Up
This channel allows you to access headlines and current events obtained from the Internet. News articles are available on a global
view (like the forecast channel) and as a slide show. The content is automatically updated and viewable via WiiConnect24. Video and
audio broadcasts may be available in the future.
Here you can view weather reports and forecasts downloaded onto the console via WiiConnect24. The forecast channel displays a
view of the Earth as a globe (courtesy of NASA), with which you can view weather in other regions. Features include looking at
the current forecast, the UV index, today's overall forecast, tomorrow's forecast, a 5-day forecast (only for the selected country),
and a laundry check (Japan only).
You must download this from the Wii Shop Channel (FREE). This channel allows you to vote in simple opinion polls and compare
and contrast opinions with those of friends, family and people across the globe. Additionally, voters can also make predictions for
the choice that will be the most popular overall after their own vote has been cast. Each Mii's voting and prediction record is tracked
and voters can also compare whether their beliefs are in line with those of the majority of voters.
This channel is a web browser for use on the Wii by Opera Software and Nintendo. On December 22, 2006 a free beta version (promoted
as a "trial version") of the browser was released. The final version of the browser was released on April 11, 2007 and was free to
download until the end of June 2007. Since this deadline has passed, the channel now costs 500 Wii Points to download. Users who downloaded
the browser before June 30, 2007, can continue to use it at no cost for the lifetime of the Wii system. An update was recently added
to this which allows the use of a USB keyboard.
The Check Mii Out Channel, known as the Mii Contest Channel in Europe and Oceania, and Miirame in Spanish-speaking countries, is a
channel that allows players to share their Miis and enter them in to popularity contests. It was first available on 11 November 2007.
It is available free to download from the Wii Channels section of the Wii Shop Channel.
If a user inserts an SD card into the console, or receives photos (JPEG) or videos (MJPEG) via email, they can be viewed by means
of the photo channel. The user can create a slideshow by simply inserting an SD card with photos and, if they want to add music, MP3
or AAC files. The Wii will automatically add transitions between the photos and play the music in the background. A built-in editor
allows users to add markings and effects to their photos. Mosaics and puzzles can also be created with this feature.
You can purchase retro game downloads (virtual console) or the NEW WiiWare. To purchase enter your credit card info in the "purchase
points" section. You can also enter the number of a Wii Points Card you purchased from a major retailer. Wii points are available
in 1000, 2000, 3000, and 5000 increments.
