Mii Popularity Channel coming April
Nintendo recently filled the inboxes of Japanese Wii consoles with a message about the "Mii Popularity Channel's" upcoming release. According to Siliconera, Wii owners will be able to download the new channel and vote for their favorite Miis as early as April 29th. Whether or not this is the worldwide release date hasn't been confirmed, but channel updates tend to occur on the same day. The Mii Popularity Channel (not the official name) was announced last week at Shigeru Miyamoto's GDC keynote. Similar to the Everybody Votes Channel, users will be asked to pick out their preferred Mii from a lineup. The Mii that wins the majority vote will not only be crowned the "most popular kid" at school, but will enjoy the benefits of a fashionable wardrobe, invitations to every weekend party, and dates with the best-looking jocks or cheerleaders. That's life.

This is awesome. I always thought the problem with American Idol was there was too much emphasis on talent.

I had such a crush on Zack growing up.
Who woulda thought Screech was the one packin' serious heat?

Everybody Votes really hit the sweet spot for me, mostly because i'm a statistics nut (i love how they break down the results)
but this just seems like "American Idol Mii"
ugh...

Hmm, getting items to dress your Mii in seems like a cool idea.

I don't even understand what nintendo is doing anymore. Why are they putting out pointless channels such as Popularity Channel and Everybody Votes Channel when their lineup of games is seriously lacking and we still don't have online play. I believe that the effort that they are packing into creating pointless crap could be better used somewhere else.

I hope they make this into a game type channel so that we can atleast have a little fun instead of living in the shodow of the PS3 HOME
