Wii Download Channel Launches in Japan
A new Wii channel called Minna no Nintendo (”Everybody’s Nintendo” in English) has been launched in Japan, offering gamers the chance to check out videos and interviews of Nintendo games for various systems as well as send game demos to DS via local wi-fi. Unfortunately, it is exclusive to Japan right now and the company is yet to reveal any plans for a worldwide release.
According to hands-on reports from posters on the NeoGAF forums, the channel currently features an interview with noted Nintendo designer Shigeru Miyamoto, who talks about the company’s upcoming Wii Fit game, video previews of Wii games, demos of DS titles including Brain Age 2 and even more. There is also a feedback service allowing gamers to rate the games they own in various categories.
