I would definitely say the overall implementation of the various Wii channels has been somewhat of a disappointment based on expectations/ the potential set forth by Nintendo in the early days.
But at least the channels work with WiiConnect24.
Having said that, I honestly don't use channels like News and Weather all that much since at some point in time, I began to disable WiiConnect24 due its harmful nature to the Wii. I mean, the Wii is basically powered on and generating heat, but since the cooling fan is not running, the Wii ends up being damaged in the long run and leading to such ill effects such as random colored pixels on the screen.
Seems like a huge oversight by Nintendo.
Regardless, I do enjoy the features if you consider for a moment that they do not necessarily replace the way people look up info on their cell phones and notebooks, but rather supplement them. If you've booted up your Wii to play a game, the idea is why not go ahead and take a quick look at weather and news?
The channels aren't perfect, and they could have been updated regularly for improvement, but Nintendo never bothered much.
The Leader Board and Game Library idea seem like the next step in bringing these features together. I would love to see something like that.
Yeah, here's hoping to some nice content on 3DS!
