Disc Channel

The Disc Channel allows users to play Wii and Nintendo GameCube titles. The Disc Channel displays the name of the Wii title that is present in the drive and plays a sound clip. If a GameCube title is in the drive it displays the GameCube logo and plays the GameCube's default startup sound.

It also treats discs from another region as unreadable. If an unreadable disc is inserted (or if the disc is inserted the wrong way), the channel will display an error message that reads, "Unable to read the disc. Check the Wii Operations Manual for help troubleshooting."

If no disc is inserted in the drive, the channel displays the image at the right. When a GameCube or Wii disc is inserted into the drive, the pictures of both discs spin until the type of disk is recognized. Once the disc type is recognized, the extra disc fades out and the recognized disc descends into a slot. Also, when on the Wii Menu, when a disc is inserted, there will be a disc to the left of the channel.

This is the only channel that cannot be moved. It is always in the upper left corner.

Mii Channel

The Mii (pronounced "me") Channel is an avatar creator, where users can design 3D caricatures of people (Miis) by selecting from a group of facial and bodily features. At the Game Developers Conference 2007, Shigeru Miyamoto explained that the look and design of the Mii characters are based on Kokeshi, a form of Japanese doll used as souvenir gifts in Japan.

A Wired News interview of Katsuya Eguchi (producer of Animal Crossing and Wii Sports) held in 2006 confirmed that the custom player avatar feature shown at Nintendo's E3 Media Briefing would be included in the hardware. The feature was described as part of a "Profile" system that contains the caricature and other pertinent player information.^[1] This application was officially unveiled by Nintendo in September 2006. It is incorporated into Wii's operating system interface as the "Mii Channel". Users can select from pre-made caricatures or create their own by choosing custom facial shapes, colors, and positioning. In certain games (including Wii Sports, Wii Play, WarioWare: Smooth Moves, and Mario Party 8) each player's caricature will serve as the character he/she controls in some/all forms of gameplay. Miis can interact with other Wii users by showing up on their Wii consoles through the WiiConnect24 feature or by talking with other Miis created by Wii owners all over the world. This feature is called Mii Parade. Early-created Miis as well as those encountered in Mii Parades may show up as spectators in some games.^[2] Miis can be stored on Wii Remotes and taken to other consoles. The remote can hold up to a maximum amount of 10 Miis. The Wii itself can hold 100 Miis. A new channel which features popularity contests for the Miis is in development.

Photo Channel

If a user inserts an SD card into the console, or sends photos (JPEG) or videos (MJPEG) via email, they can be viewed by means of the Photo Channel. The user can create a slideshow by simply inserting an SD card with photos and, if they want to add music, an MP3 file will work. The Wii will automatically add transitions between the photos and play the music in the background. A built-in editor allows users to add markings and effects to their photos. Mosaics and puzzles can also be created with this feature. Edited photos can be saved to the Wii (the Wii will not overwrite data on the SD card) and sent to other Wiis via the message board. According to the system's manual, the following file extensions (i.e. formats) are supported: Photos (jpeg/jpg), Movies (mov/avi), and Music (mp3).

WiiWare

This portion of the Wii Shop specializes on software specifically designed for Wii known as WiiWare (Wii Software in Europe). Currently, this section offers only the Internet Channel and the Everybody Votes Channel. The latter is free of charge, however as of July 1, 2007 the Internet Channel requires a fee of 500 Wii points. While actual "games" have also been planned to appear in this section since its inception, there had been no official word on when any would be appearing until June 27, 2007 when Nintendo made an official confirmation in a press release which confirmed the first titles would surface sometime in 2008. Curiously, the press release refers to the announcement as "the introduction of WiiWare" with "The first WiiWare content [launching] in early 2008", despite the fact that the first WiiWare content was actually introduced December 2006 with the trial release of the Internet Channel. is the 182nd day of the year (183rd in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

The WiiWare section is also being touted as a forum to provide developers with small budgets to release innovative, original, and smaller-scale games without the investment and risk of creating a title to be sold at retail. According to Nintendo the "remarkable motion controls will give birth to fresh takes on established genres, as well as original ideas that currently exist only in developers' minds". WiiWare titles are available in the Wii Shop Channel and, just like Virtual Console games, are purchased using Wii Points. Nintendo will handle all pricing options for the downloadable games.^[5]

Forecast Channel

The Forecast Channel allows weather reports and forecasts to be downloaded onto the console from the Internet via the WiiConnect24 service. The Forecast Channel displays a view of the Earth as a globe (courtesy of NASA), with which users can view weather in other regions. The user can also spin the globe. When fully zoomed out, an accurate^[6] star map is visible in the background (the Big Dipper and Orion constellations are easily recognizable, for example). The Forecast Channel features include looking at the current forecast, the UV index, today's overall forecast, tomorrow's forecast, a 5-day forecast, and a laundry check (Japan only). The Forecast Channel first became available on December 19, 2006, one day earlier than previously advertised. Certain games (like Madden NFL 07 or the upcoming NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams) can use the Forecast Channel to simulate weather conditions depending on the player's region.^[7] Image File history File links Download high-resolution version (854x480, 47 KB) This image is cover art for a computer or video game, and the copyright for it is most likely owned by either the games publisher or developer. ...

There are slight variations of the Forecast Channel in different regions. When viewing weather conditions in Japan, a different set of weather icons is used. The Japanese icons were originally going to be used for all regions, but NOA (Nintendo of America) requested that more life-like icons be used. NOA also requested that the current weather conditions be displayed on the start up screen. Nintendo of Europe made a request that certain icons be made more distinct, such as the storm clouds, so that it would be possible for the user to tell if an area is getting rain, snow, sleet, hail, or thunderstorms. Additionally, the laundry index was only featured in the Japanese version. ^[8]
