Horoscope Channel, and other Wii things

[Toby Newman]

The horoscope channel is some seriously useless dross! I don't
recommend anyone even downloads it.

I was pleased to see Adam and Joe doing videos on the Nintendo channel
- they're more watchable than the annoying guys on XBL who serve a
similar role but with emo hair.

It seems that DS demos don't stay on the Nintendo Channel forever. I
looked last night and there are only about 6 now, with a lot of the
demos from the early days (Ninja Gaiden, Soul bubbles...) now removed.
Baffling.

I haven't bothered with the Nintendo Channel for ages, but I'll have to
check it out now! Usually it's just annoying videos featuring celebs trying
to work out how to use a stylus or a remote.

I think this sums up Nintendo pretty well. It was a great idea, but poorly
implemented. It seems third-party developers/publishers aren't interested in
putting out demos and neither is Nintendo.

I haven't got much hope for them launching that TV channel they talked about
at the start of the year.
