Read that!
It basically looks like we'll be able to download stuff from the Internet Channel now, and watch movies and MP3s too hopefully!
Maybe with all those Wii USB stick rumours going round too...

I think that channel is very unnecesary. The wii is becoming more computer like now...which I'm not fond of. I think the Wii sold stick with nore creative ideas (the EV Channel was great and the Mii Popularity channel coming out sounds good). A Storage Channel...what's next?

It might open new paths for homebrew games though =)

Announced May 5th, not Released May 5th

No, it was announced today, not released today. It won't be out for a long time, since the Everbody Votes Channel was announced a while ago, and still nothing has been confirmed (release date ext.), unless you count April 29th, which was of course delayed as we all know.

Nobody is forcing you to get it so shh.

Also I see no information on that link about the channel you talked about.

The source that wikipedia cites is an announcement that the NOA marketing department is moving to either NYC or SF. Nothing at all about this channel.

Everyone does know that Wikipedia is about the crappiest source out there, right?

 

[LevesqueIsKing]

sounds good...

Well, I think this was a hoax, due to the fact that it's been deleted, and it's only on Wikipedia =/

I don't trust Wikipedia alone usually.

Update// I just went to the archived version that was mentioned earlier and followed the reference link. It just linked to an irrelevant subject http://gameinformer.com/News/Story/200705/N07.0504.0014.31335.htmw

 

[briers07]

well I hope that it's true as the channel sounds great

Man, I need to hook my internet back up to my Wii. I haven't reconected my router since I moved.

I will do that tonight, and dl a bunch of VC games..

This looks like it could be really awesome though.

 

[ottoman]

can some one copy and paste? i cant find the section..

 

[unluckylink13]

It was deleted due to it being false information.

Update (Again)// Here's what it used to be (used the History function)

Storage Channel

A multimedia channel (currently nicknamed "The Storage Channel") has been announced by Nintendo Co. on May 5th, 2007, and is stated to be in early development.[24] The channel is said to be used in relation with the Internet Channel, storing downloaded media, and other files. No other information has been announced at this point in time.
