When I see headlines like “The Wii News Channel to go live this Saturday” I usually have to allow for it being an American press-release and hence it means “Sunday New Zealand time”. Pleasantly enough this time it actually means “Friday Evening”.
What can I say after ten minutes playing with it? Coolest text zoom ever. The globe from the weather channel is back – there is no news from the South Pole, I checked. The slide show is clean and almost useful. There is a “Regional News” classification between the “National” and “International” categories – unfortunately this just means I can read Australian news. They can’t format cricket score-cards properly, but it doesn’t really matter since Australia were making England look like idiots again and its probably best if you don’t look too closely. The help cat makes a brief appearance on the update screen – unfortunately it only seems to update when you start up.
