Well... I'm not much of a retro gamer, so I'm not going to use the VC much, so that leaves a ****load of empty boxes for channels. Nintendo can't just stop at weather and news. What other channels do you think, or would you like to have on your Wii?

Music channel to download or stream music? I'm really lost for ideas at the moment. xD

Well, to download music it would have to be unlicensed music, or music that nintendo purchases rights to. Stream music, on the other hand, is easier to do.

I was thinking TV channel, but that would kill my bandwidth.

music channel to manage mp3's off SD card would be killer. channel for online multiplayer showing records, best players, etc.

1 - Internet channel (In the works)
2 - Movie channel (Watch any kind of format)
3 - Music channel (listen to any kind of format)
4 - Chat channel (Like the DS chat rooms)
5 - DS channel (Link the DS wireless to play DS on big screen)
6 - Forums channel (A world wide Nintendo alone forums)
7 - Mini game channel (Flash games / Online mini games)
8 - Mii 2 channel (Mii's roaming with Mii's, chat channel but with Mii's, swapping, chatting, looking, mini Mii games)
9 - Photo Board channel (Photo channel 2, but with everyone posting photos, etc to view, download, etc)
10 - VC Bundle addons (Some VC bundles in the VC channel, for instance Super Mario All Stars, Super Mario Kart, Super Mario World = 1500 points.

on the Vc it would be good if the channels group the game types ie have a NES channel that has all of the NES games downloaded etc. otherwise some ppl may run out of channels

How about a PC channel so you can connect to a shared drive on your PC to watch movies or play music from that instead of the SD card.

I'd settle for having a Pictochat style channel, where you create a chat room - people join, you can screw around on the whiteboard and send images and messages to eachother. that'd be some good fun

I'd like to see an update to the Mii Channel that allows for a larger variety of faces and maybe being able to change their clothes as well. I heard that Animal Crossing was going to support this function but I'm not too sure. I'd imagine they'd have to have something like this in place already otherwise consoles that haven't been updated that recieve new Mii's will have problems.

It would be like any online game, for instance someone with the 1st main Mii update, and then someone with update 3 sending a Mii to them who doesn't have those extra features on the Mii being sent, would still be able to display and hold that Mii with update 3, just wouldn't be able to create that Mii with those updates, until they updated to update 3.

Lots of update words, do you get me? lol.
It's like WoW who doesn't have the expansion, they'll see the new class's, items, etc, but not be able to use them.

Mii space, where a list of all the games you have are displayed with all your records, replay saves and other content can be downloaded to watch.

I like it.
