I Dream of Ninty: Nintendo Power is next Wii Channel?

News of a possible new Wii channel which seems like a great addition to me:

When the discussion turned to the Wii's 24/7 online service, Fils-Aime threw a curve. Yes, the system will continue to receive new channels and downloadable games. There are other downloadable-content ideas floating around too. "We have a tremendous amount of old Nintendo Power [magazine] content, for example, that we could present to consumers as a way to get smart about Virtual Console."

While he did mention "a tremendous amount of old NP content," let's stretch it further and dream on for it to include newer issues of the magazine.

Think about it. Interestingly enough, if the Wii News Channel couldn't get any more Ninty, then a Nintendo Power Wii Channel that's solely dedicated to give us updates on their games (like Metroid Prime 3 and Super Mario Galaxy - not to mention Phantom Hourglass for the DS, while we're at it) makes us more than hopeful that it pushes through.

A Nintendo channel on the Wii....cool

Sounds like a good idea to me. It'd be great to get game news and info that way - hope they do it!

Yup, sounds like a great idea to me too

Any new channel for the wii sounds good to me - well, unless it causes a slow on the wii shop channel lol.
Still havent tried the new channel as it wouldnt let me connect, should have calmed down now though
