Yep, the 20th is comming up reeeal soon =P
It's not much, but hey, it's one more functioning channel. And (at least for Europe) you'll be able to download the Internet Channel 4 days later.

That and spinning around the Earth will be a fun little timewaster.

I was wondering when they'd release that!

I'd like to know what some games could do to take advantage of this channel...

Comes out early January. From the looks of things, it's probably an RSS reader using a feed from the news outlet Nintendo is gonna use. (which means you could probably hack it to load other RSS feeds?)

I'm actually really psyched about this; the Forecast and News channels were something I always felt Nintendo was avoiding to maintain their focus on games; and yet when they announced this functionality I just found it really exciting that something like this was done for the maturing gamer

I'm TRYING to update mine, but it's just sitting there not doing anything, what happens if you turn the system off when the bar is a quarter way through doing a Wii system update?

Edit: Nm, got it updated after resetting my system, and I must say i'm INCREDIBLY impressed with the Forecast Channel. It's very easy to use, but amazingly in depth, can check the weather and temparature from/of anywhere in the world, as well as forecasts for following days, and a 5 day forecast for your own home city it seems, as well as UV Index. I'm impressed, and I can easily see myself and others using it to check the weather.

Why the heck is it extremely innacurate for the most part?

It's right on the dot for the current weather here, in comparison to ForcastFox...

But the city RIGHT NEXT TO US has 22 as it's marking.

Everywhere but the city next to us seems to have accurate readings.

I don't beleive a city 2 miles away has 15 degrees as their temp while we have 53.

Yes, Nintendo sent a message out to all users, which unusually has an "Update" button instead of a "Reply" button :o
It also has some sort of Forecast Channel wallpaper, but I dunno how to get images from the Message Board to an SD card, so no image for the compy.

Doesn't matter. Forecast Channel rawks smile.gif

And hearing about Opera Wii being launched Friday makes me happier
