Available today in North America is the Wii’s Nintendo Channel (don’t worry, it’s not in Japanese, that’s just the only decent picture I could find). Basically, it lets you watch Nintendo-related videos, see a calendar of Nintendo game release dates, recommend games you’ve played already, and download demos of Nintendo DS games onto your DS.
I have seen my share of Nintendo videos, so that was no fun. The calendar only projected out like a week, I need more time to prepare than that. And I use threevue to recommend games, thank you very much. So really, all I cared about were the DS demos.
They had 8 demos available, including Ninja Gaiden Swords, Brain Age 2 and Cooking Mama 2. I tried Cooking Mama 2 out; it was a quick and painless experience. It lasted about five minutes, I made an apple pie, and I was ready to pop in some Mario Kart Wii. End of story.
