The Nintendo Channel and WiiWare heading to North America next month

The Everybody’s Nintendo Channel was released roughly three months ago in Japan, and after that release, it's been really popular. For many of you who don't know what this channel is for, "The Nintendo Channel", as called in North America, is a simple channel that Nintendo 'advertises' upcoming DS and Wii software and allows you to demo Nintendo DS games for free.

Along with the Nintendo Channel, WiiWare will also be available days after the release of the Nintendo Channel.

WiiWare is basically Nintendo's own Xbox Live Arcade system. You download games using Wii Points. Just like Virtual Console games. The WiiWare titles range up to 500 Wii points ($5.00) to 1000 Wii points ($10.00). For multiple titles, you will be able to download additional content. Already, My Life as a King, a WiiWare title, already uses this service.

For more value, you can review your own WiiWare games if you play it long enough. This review will go up on the Nintendo Channel for many people to view.

The Nintendo Channel and WiiWare service is due out for next month for the Nintendo Wii. If anything new pops up, I will let you know of it right away! I hope you guys are excited as I am for these services!

Well I do love how we can demo DS titles so no longer do I have to go to my local GameStop and stand around with my DS like a fricken moron downloading demos, I can do that in my own home. It would have been nice if they included Wii demos but I love my DS as much as my Wii so I love it.

Before you buy "my life as a king" You should know that by the time you buy all of the expansion packs, you will have paid around $55.

I actually think I'll use this channel. think it's a really good idea. I'll probably use the demos when I'm really bored, and WiiWare of course, is going to be great.
