Update for the Nintendo Channel available
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
Mini-update: Okay, here is the official description of the update from Nintendo…
“An update that provides a behind-the-scenes enhancement to the Nintendo Channel was made available.”
To be honest, I do not notice any significant changes other than the channel’s slightly modified presence on the Wii Menu. As of now, there is no scrolling text to show some of the updates to the channel. Nintendo works in mysterious ways though, so perhaps they’ve added something that I may have missed. Keep in mind that this update is a mandatory download if you wish to access the Nintendo Channel from here on out. Oh, and no – There are no Wii demos on the channel. Sorry folks!
