We predict that Europe will receive a new Wii channel tomorrow

by JC Fletcher { Sep 8th 2009 at 3:30PM }

Yes, we can accurately predict that a new Wii Channel will be available in Europe tomorrow, but only because Nintendo announced it. Nintendo has dug into its archive of Japanese Channels and dusted off the Today & Tomorrow Channel, which offers daily horoscopes for every Mii on your console, as well as astrologically-determined compatibility tests and lifestyle tips.

You know who else didn't predict this? Nintendo of Europe. A spokesperson said last year that there were no plans to localize this channel. Maybe there were plans, but the Nintendo rep didn't know how to correctly interpret the signs.

I don't really see the point in this channel, but I don't believe in horoscopes and astrology so...

... and the need to comment?

That's like a person saying they don't see the need of 4 wheels, but they're motorcycle fans so...

Well, does anyone *actually believe in* horoscopes/astrology?

I thought it was just a fringe kind of thing for the 'true believers', and just silly entertainment for everyone else.

New-Age religions do believe in astrology and the such.

Eastern cultures quite believe in horoscopes to a good degree.

So yes, people actually do believe in them.

Other than that, it's just for fun for the rest of us.

You know, I have some fate in this channel (if it comes to USA), at least it looks more useful to me than the Everbody Votes Channel.

I predict this is a North American Christmas Day surprise.

So close.

A few weeks ago I was looking at the Japanese-exclusive channels, and figured this one had a pretty decent chance of being ported to other countries. I thought it would be a pleasant surprise if it were to somehow come out within the few weeks I had left before I have to leave home for university - and leave my Wii behind, and here we are with less than a week left before I have to leave and they've announced they're bringing it out of Japan.

To Europe, though.

Oh well, at least the Internet Channel became free.

Slotting perfectly into their catatonic gullible whole foods housewife target market.

The funny thing about astrology is that the stars has moved so it doesn't really work anymore.

This seems kind of lame and not needed. The only channel that i even remotely liked was everybody votes. And thats only because my girlfriend and i like to compete against each other to see who can guess the most. And even now, that channel is getting lame. Nintendo needs to do a major overhaul with the wii cuz this whole "last gen" system with gimmicky controls is starting to fail in the face of the beast known as the PS3. I know the wii is dominating the PS3 in sales but i can almost guarantee that anybody over the age of 14 is finally seeing the light of day and admitting that the wii has lost its flare, and the PS3 is starting to look like one of the greatest consoles ever created.
