The News Channel was a channel available on the Wii console that lets users view news articles for free using the internet and the WiiConnect24 service. While it was supported, the News Channel would update daily.

Like the Forecast Channel, the News Channel features a 3D, rotatable model of the Earth that can be used to find news headlines around the world.

Trivia[]

  • Although the channel was officially discontinued on June 28, 2013, it was unofficially rereleased in October 2015 for use with the RiiConnect24 homebrew service. However, it used old news entries before the channel was discontinued until June 28, 2016, at which point it started having the latest news.
  • The Nintendo Help Cat appears on the channel’s loading screen. Clicking on him and reading his advice will cause the progress bar to turn into cats, and holding A while moving the cursor on these cats will make the help cat’s “chatter” noises.
