I think Nintendo should open up the Wii (not fully, obviously) something like XNA Game Studio for the 360, LET people make homebrew officially. Of course, it'd have to run in a restricted environment, to prevent "backup" loaders etc, but they should make a "homebrew channel" available from Wii Shop, and let you download free games for it, made by others. I really think it would improve the Wii, and potentially expand the audience of the console.

But sadly I doubt they ever will do this...]]> SifJar OfftopicSat, 05 Sep 2009 12:54:53 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,31649,32106#msg-32106 Re: New, free version of the Internet Channel released.

Maybe just a coincidence, but I posted (almost a month ago) on the "everybody votes" channel, a question exactly over this! (Should Nintendo make the internet channel free again?)

Very cool of them to make it free :)]]> SLotman OfftopicFri, 04 Sep 2009 10:34:01 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,31649,31944#msg-31944 Re: New, free version of the Internet Channel released.

1 September 09: Nintendo have released a new version of the Internet Channel. The new version offers updated flash and is free. Users who have previously paid will be offered a free NES Virtual Console title.

The exact update message here:

Nice move of Nintendo. :]

Apparently we will have to wait a bit for the free VC NES game though ->

Starting later in October, Nintendo will be offering a NES title from Virtual Console worth 500 Wii Points to those Wii owners who have already spent 500 Wii Points on the Wii Internet Channel.
