Check Mii Out Channel by the End of September

Whenever you see a promotional photo of Nintendo's Wii, you see that glowing blue light. When Nintendo first started talking about WiiConnect24, its unique always-on internet service, they said there'd be surprises on your birthday for example, and that the blue light would serve to notify you. More than a year on, we've only had a few surprises, including channels like Everybody Votes, but there's really been nothing since.

According to Fils-Aime, who recently spoke with GameHead, those surprises are "still coming," however. "We announced at E3 a new channel, the Check Mii Out channel, and we still have plans [for more surprises]. But the surprise is coming...the surprise is coming...by the end of September," he said, referring to the availability of Check Mii Out.

By launching this new channel, Nintendo aims to expand on the global Mii phenomenon, and the two main parts of the free offering will be an area where players can post their own Miis, allowing the community to vote on their abilities; and then contests, where Nintendo will put the call out for Miis based on celebrities, and other themes.

Mii's sure are fun the first 5 minutes...

Then, you wish there were some real games for the Wii...

the f#ck is the mii channel. Sounds like a sesame street special.

This could be kinda fun. I spend a few minutes every couple days on the Everybody Votes Channel.

I'm sure this could entertain for a few mins a week also... possibly even more depending on what's all included.

But who can complain about something that's provided free? And if you don't want to use it, don't. Let's just hope they're spending equally/more time on ensuring there'll be some great -games- that use the online functionality too!

Will have to wait and see.

Instead of caring in stupid Mii's Nintendo should care on what really matters on a console internet conection...

ONLINE GAMING!!!!!

Stop being retards, Nintendo and start making online games, MS and Sony had them since day one.

6 Fun Games Where You Actually Play As The Bad Guy

While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

Profchaos19h ago

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).

Trevor in GTA 6 is a sadist and psychopath who dabbles in cannibalism. Should be top of the list. These game “news” sites should hire people that know games.

Strange headline, as I thought the star of the show was Super RType. I almost bought RType Dimensions EX this last month and was just thinking, man I wish we had the SNES one somewhere on Switch. That's where I got my start w the series and I was beyond excited to see it drop this week!
