Nintendo have announced that they've opened up a new channel on the Wii console for people that have it plugged into Internet:
THE Forecast Channel is now live...

This channel allows you to access free local weather forecasts after turning on the Wii console. When connected to the Internet, the WiiConnect24 service automatically updates local weather information.

I dont mean to be snide, but does this constitute as news? I mean, sure, its a console and as gamers we may be interested in consoles but, how trivial is too trival?


You're a f***head, seriously. This is good news - it's an addition to Nintendo's online service. Just shut up.

Also, sup Ad! :)

Edit: and fpot!

Depends on whether or not theres an exclusive playable demo of the hottest new FPS at the bottom of said cliff.

It's a much nicer weather interface than XBMC. Well done to Nintendo. Who would've thought the weather would be fun?
