Wii News to replace your news

Posted Feb 4, 2007 at 12:27PM EST by QJ Staff

Listed in: Wii Tags: Asia, Associated Press

The successful game console that has everyone jumping up from the couch and waving their magic Wii wands now has the ability to replace your local news channel. And you don't even have to wait until 11.

Instead of getting your local news from your favorite news channel, Wii could give you the skinny of news from all around the world. Got friends in Asia? You could hover over Asia on the 3D Globe and see an assortment of news from the region. Among other features, the news even gets updated on-the-fly. So you can check back and find new developments.

While your local news are still closer to home, the fact that a mere video game console can provide up-to-date, on-demand news gives a new meaning to interactive media. Powered by Associated Press (or Goo for the Japanese), the Wii news channel consolidates news collected from associated sources all over the world (with pretty cryptic acronyms by the way - there's never enough combinations of letters to make you dizzy). It may be only a matter of time before the news covers your neighborhood.

So now all news buffs get to view what news they want, when they want, by a wave of a hand and a click of a button. The value of the Wii probably went up two-fold now.

How many times are you going to keep posting incorrect information regarding the News Channel?

First off you kept stating that you needed Opera's trial browser to use it which having been told wasn't true you continued to publish. Now you keep repeating that the Japanese version is powered by Goo. IT IS NOT. If you really are that big a fan of the NewsChannel you'd have noticed the news on there about who's powering the Japanese version!

Serously QJ why do we care? Your basically saying "hey did you know the wii has a news channel"

My Cable tv has got an interactive news channel like this too

Honestly why are you so mad? Do you feel you can do better when all you want to do is bash someone else? Seriously if you don't want to read the artical don't! If you want hacks, news, cheats look up those articals or try really playing a game the full way thru before you exploit it.

News channel is great! I for one have found it very useful and use it more then waiting for the news on TV or use that interactive news on cable cuz it isn't better then the Wii.

Anyways thank you QJ for giving me yet another artical I read and enjoyed.

p.s. to all the haters if you don't like this site then why are you on it in the first place?
