Title: Wii News Channel is available now! Post by: Tondog on January 26, 2007, 11:44:35 AM Who here downloaded the Wii News Channel update? I got it just a few minutes ago, and I've been playing around with it. It's way better than the Forecast Channel and seems updated fairly often, a lot more than the Forecast Channel's pathetic excuse for current weather conditions. It's very good with zooming in and out, and it even reformats the page as you zoom. The only thing I would include on there is the ability to subscribe to RSS Feeds. That would be really nifty, especially with how great of a job it does with zooming.

However, the slide show feature is a great way to get a good overview of the news and see what interests you. Nintendo really needs to make the forecast channel more like this...

And for some reason it likes to think Nashville is the main center for news in the US.
Title: Re: Wii News Channel is available now! Post by: Tondog on January 26, 2007, 02:01:09 PM I found how to do it! :-D
It's not very obvious how to get to the globe view. You gotta click on the map when you're in a news story. Anyways, holy crap, this globe kicks ass! Not only can you spin it, you can try and get the news story stack high score! My high score is 137 in the WASHINGTON Area. Title: Re: Wii News Channel is available now!
