  • MemeWarrior, on 10/12/2007, -4/+55It would be nice if they released the channels they've already announced. :P
  • Wisgary, on 10/12/2007, -4/+47Porno channel for adults? Use your Wii points to play with your wii.
  • Lumiras, on 10/12/2007, -2/+20Wow....a rumor with no real information whatsoever

    Of course Nintendo is going to add extra channels. From the Wii desktop, there are like 4 pages of empty boxes where extra channels will go. This is no surprise at all.

    Now, if there was any information at all about what exactly will be in those channels, I would digg this, but right now it's worthless...

    Why not say that one of the channels will interface with the full-screen iPod and play Duke Nukem Forever?
  • turpenine, on 10/12/2007, -3/+21no, it wears a kamono.
  • jesusphreak, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15I'm not usually a 'this is a dupe' kinda guy, but this story is basically the exact same as one that is on the frontpage only a few stories below.

  • blanktarget, on 10/12/2007, -2/+14"Nintendo's still got a few things under their sleeve." you mean up their sleeve?
  • Philbert, on 10/12/2007, -2/+14You mean a kimono?
  • TheG2, on 10/12/2007, -4/+14The internet is just a giant circle jerk...
  • Harabeck, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10VC games take up one of those empty boxes once you download it.
  • BillDoE, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Be nice if the ones I had worked first.Weather and News = Nada. Not that I'll ever use them but it's nice when things work before you announce new garbage. It would be nice if I didn't have to find 10 different independent websites to get wii friends codes. I love the wii but the online aspect is a joke.
  • whiteyMcBrown, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7I have a Nintendo Wii and it's awesome and I'm going nuts waiting for new content. On a side note: Can we please stop the 'playing with my wii' jokes, please? It's retarded.
  • Enterprise8875, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Reggie did say there would be a surprise before x-mas.
  • ArcheKlaine, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3What I'd love is if they just made a toolkit for running your own Wii Channel off of your own servers, and made it just as easy as popping in a URL onto a channel slot, kind of like popping an RSS feed into your reader of choice.
  • bergur1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3what COULD be added that would make the wii more interesting?

    Maybe they could add a video channel sort of like youtube but only accessible using the wii. Maybe a DS channel or a Wii extras download channel (Skins, music, flash games). It would be nice if they could finish the Opera channel.

    Here is a link to an article about Wii trademarks. It lists a bunch of trademarked names or phrases using the word Wii. For example WiiCulture. The most intriguing trademark, however, is !!M which of course is just Wii flipped 180 degrees. Could this be the name of Nintendo's own secret Instant messenger like service for the Wii?
  • NinjaBoy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2there are plenty of boxes you can scroll to the right.
  • bryant, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2This doesn't technically count as a dupe, whether the other one FP'd or not. This one was submitted about 5 hours before the one you linked to. IT is the dupe.
  • DRTED, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2The inventor of wii, Super Mario, sure made a great product.
  • scyform, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1For those who refuse to read text on that site's terrible notebook layout:

    Speaking with a friend of mine from Germany, who works for a very legitimate gaming production and publication, I can confirm that Nintendo truly does have something under their sleeves in the next few months. Of course, I can’t say more than that at the current moment, but now you’re glad that you checked the site other the weekend right? The secret lies within the Wii’s interface, most notably the channels. Something just might surprise you how far Nintendo can go in actually changing the infrastructure of their next-gen console.

    Remember IGN’s interview with NOA’s Perrin Kaplan?

    IGN: “Do we have any more surprises on the way before launch?”

    Kaplan: “We do have a couple of other surprises. You know probably not as big as what you got today, but more details on a couple of different things that I think people… I think your folks will be very pleased about.”

    These secrets are contained in upcoming channels to surface eventually - ones that haven’t been announced. Nintendo’s playing a waiting game on when to reveal this, but I cannot confirm anything other than that. Stay tuned on these developments.

    In other developments, you might want to keep an eye on your Wii’s WiiConnect24 service leading up to this Christmas. Nintendo’s sending a nifty gift… a surprise.
  • Philbert, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Video channel or extras channels would be nice. I don't think they would do anything with DS if it's a "gift", since only some people would be able to use it.
  • spidoman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Ohh skins would be awesome.
  • oldtimegamer, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Wow, duped and both stories are still on the home page.
  • rusackas, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0http://www.duggmirror.com/
  • amazingawal, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0How hard is it to set up an RSS feed these days?
    I call it the easiest surprise in the world.
  • obvious, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2Thank you Captain Obvious. And here I thought all those empty channel slots were for show.
  • 13tongimp, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2It's obvious that it will be a MEGATON Channel featuring the history of all the times people online have claimed that there was yet another "surprise" announcement from Nintendo that never came to fruition. It's called link-bait.
  • RyGiL, on 10/12/2007, -11/+10Virtual ValerWii?
  • ICodeMonkey, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1"...I think your folks will be very pleased about." Aren't they just talking about the new Parental Controls update that was just sent out?
  • fredkreuger, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2Yes, the one you link to is a dupe.
  • yetdog, on 10/12/2007, -7/+1Any guesses as to the content? Sports/favorite team scores? Stock prices?

    I personally think a leaderboard / Mii exchange channel would be cool
  • matija, on 10/12/2007, -16/+8not known yet, just as in the ORIGINAL post of this story..

  • Stompp, on 10/12/2007, -19/+3details, details... I think that's almost anti-wii, I'm gonna have to digg you down for that here.... ;)
