The Wii shopping channel is up and running! There is a tiered payment system to buy Wii points, for example 2000 Wii points costs£14.99, and once you've bought some credit, you can download those old school games on NES or SNES, N64 or Turbografx-16! As you can see from the screenshot below, this is also where you access the Virtual Console which lists games by their platform allowing you to easily find the games you want. In fact, neither is the News channel (which debuts at the end of January) or the Internet Channel (which debuts on December 23rd with the release of the Opera browser.) It’s disappointing that these channels aren’t available from day one, but we doubt we’re missing out on much. This isn’t actually functional yet, it apparently it starts on December 20th. Personally, we just look out of the window for that, so we reckon that this is possibly the most useless channel out of those available.

We love talking about the weather in the UK so you may be interested to know that you can view the weather for your particularly region or country by selecting the relevant options or even view a complete weekly forecast. The Forecast Channel, the News Channel, the Internet Channel
