I can't imagine why it'd be worth $40 to someone.

It's just marketing research stuff. Fairly standard fare and they go the extra mile of saying what they don't collect.

If you don't agree then you don't get the DS download service. It's a tit for tat measure.

The only DS demo that was of interest to me right now was Ninja Gaiden, so I played thought it and didn't really care for it. It's not bad if you like that sort of thing, but I've had my fill of it just from the demo.

@HeroUWii: You do if you want to download DS demos.

Awesome new channel.

Click on the vids when they start playing. Quite a few take up the full screen.

Yetanotheruninspiredscreename

A little tip. B trigger is a seek function. Right now the vid player is like an old style streaming vid player in which you couldn't pause to let it finish downloading. You had to drag back to the start to let it catch up. Do this on the wii when you make the vid take up more of the screen when you click on it.

Quite a number of sites even big ones such as news ones still have shit streaming players that still cannot be paused to let the stream finish before being played.

Overall I don't think I'm going to buy the 'game' - it would probably be better to learn to play a real guitar, or possibly another musical instrument I actually own but can't play properly - but as a portable guitar+effects simulator, it seems pretty great from that experience.

I also played all three levels of the crosswords game which was fun (what? I like crosswords) although it's a shame they are American-style crosswords.

So anyway, I'm not going to buy the games, but I had fun with the demos, which makes this new channel a definite winner in my view. :)

@whalleywhat: Videos were shit for me too. My DSL might be slow, but not that slow. Maybe since the channel just launched, their servers are overloaded. (Also they should show a damn progress bar instead of just a spinny thing. Same applies to the DS downloads which took quite a while to download to the Wii - and those can't be more than 4MB at absolute maximum, since that's the size of DS RAM. I'd expect they are actually much smaller.)

Thanks for the walkthrough.

Does anyone else find the buffer shit on these videos or is my Wi Fi just ass? It only plays like 30 seconds at a time.

Nice video. Thanks.

It's out now for NA wii owners. Europe gets it on the 30th.

@TRT-X: Yea after I re read my comment I thought about it more and it would be a very beneficial tool for them even if that hack didn't exist. They could sell the stats to 3rd party developers for some extra coin. So you are probably right about that being just a bonus.

Bother to learn what Cooking Mama is it's incredibly popular with casual gamers and why Majescto is still making games.

Yetanotheruninspiredscreename

Jam Sessions isn't a game in the first place. You would know that if you read any info on it. It's a guitar simulator and a very damn good one. People use the thing in concerts in place of guitars and it does the job.

You know that people who do these cracks allowing pirate activites should recieve the harshest sentences. If they honestly claim to be doing a public good work by finding security flaws why would they put up how to do it on the net instead of secretly telling the company so it could be fixed? There are laws that could easily be expanded to cover this and put the crackers/hackers into jail for life sentances and in certain countries get the death penalities. 90% of the cracking of encrypting methods comes from just four or five groups of hackers who are just a few hundred people. 99.99999 of pirates are effing script kiddies who if they didn't have a how to manual would never be able to pirate monolopy money.

But I imagine the quickest and dirtiest use is to see what games people are playing, how long, and how often.

It's a good way of seeing what games are popular, and which games may need more in the way of replayability.

Also, if somebody plays a game for an hour and then never again...there could be a problem there.

And why doesn't Okami show up in my "recommend" list? I played it for like 40 hours.

dowingba

You can. When you do the find game titles thing it brings up a list of a bunch of games if they are in the database. If you select a vc game you can purchase it from the Nintendo channel.

Retail games if you have the opera browser add on will offer to take you to an e-commerce site to order the game.

There are also a lot more videos to watch then are on the main video page. Dementium the Ward for example purchase link while Izuna 2 has a purchase link and a video.

The database is still being updated.

You can search for example by Publisher wheter or not online features are supported as well as wheter or not there is video clips.

Yetanotheruninspiredscreename

They could incorporate it as time goes on. They've already got a way for the installed version of the Mario Kart Channel to boot up Mario Kart (provided it's in your disc tray)

TRT-X

I should probably go turn on my Wii and get this, but after I wore myself out on Smash, I just can't bring myself to turn on the system, instead longing for titles such as GTA4.

But seriously it seems pretty cool. About as mystifyingly entertaining as every other non-conventional channel.
