Nintendo Confirms Original Downloads for the Wii
The Computer and Videogames site touched base with Nintendo in the wake of an interview with a game company in Game Informer magazine, to check up on their plans for original content on the Wii. A marketing director from Hudson Entertainment stated in GI that the Wii would feature a new games channel for downloadable games, and CVG wanted to follow up on the claim. Nintendo's response was that while they haven't decided on the specific method by which they'll be offering the games online, downloadable original content is definitely in the cards for the console's future. No timeframe was given for this content, but it is reassuring to have this piece of the Wii puzzle reaffirmed by the company.
News/weather channels? 480p is all you get!
Yeah, because I really need HD to get my weather forcast. "Damnit, I can't tell if that Partly Cloudy icon is a cumulus or stratus cloud!"

For some very cool free content (games!) for the Wii, Opera internet browsers should bookmark this place: WiiFii.net . It's a very cool second home with a bunch of flash games (including that cool SLED game) playable through the Opera browser.
My plea to Sega is the following: You, Sega (SegaSoft) needs to update and release a WiiConnect24-capable and local multi-player capable version of the classic game Rocket Jockey for the Wii.
The control system alone is PERFECT for the Wiimote's balancing act, not to mention the kicking surf guitar soundtrack and classic retro style.
Please let Sega know about this perfect game that they already own. I'm on the verge of starting a letter writing campaign.
