– Called “Kyou to Ashita no Uranai Lucky Channel,” translates to “Today and Tomorrow Fortune Lucky Channel” in English
– Channel involves luck and fortune telling.
– Register up to six Miis with date of birth information, receive their fortune daily

Description of the modes:

Today’s Fortune, Tomorrow’s Fortune

This mode gives your Mii a number to indicate its fortune for the current and following day. Those who want to get more specific can get readings on love, work, studies, communication, and money, each on a five point scale. This mode will even give you a lucky color for the day.

Friendliness Fortune

This mode offers compatibility rankings for two Miis. On days that your compatibility ranking is high, it’s encouraged that you eat and play together. On days that your compatibility is low, the mode will tell you when you can expect the ranking to rise again.

Food Guide

This mode offers three key words to describe recommended food genres and ingredients for the day. Sample words include “Rice,” “Japanese Food,” “Fried,” and “Fish.” Nintendo expects people to interpret the keywords differently and come up with different food ideas. The results change depending both on the day and on the Miis that you select to include in the fortune telling.

Play Guide

Similar to the Food Guide, this mode offers three keywords regarding recommended play style for the day. Sample words include “Sports”, “Racket,” and “Net.” Using these three key words, you and your family and friends can come up with activities. As with the food guide, the results change with the day and depending on the Miis that you’ve chosen to include in the fortune telling.

Beauty Guide

This mode gives three keywords on how you can improve your luck. Sample words include “Hair,” “More than usual,” “Cleaning,” “Hand,” “Beautifully,” and “Window.” You’ll have to determine what the resulting words mean.
