Wii channels menu will be the first thing you see when you boot up the Wii console. The channels so far are:
Disc Channel: Here you will load up a Wii or Gamecube game.
Mii Channel: Here you will create your personal profile and avatar. Your avatar may be used in various games, such as Wii Sports i.e. your avatar face used on your boxing character.
Wii Shop Channel: This is where users go to download video game content, including classic video games originally played on the NES, SNES, N64, Sega Genesis and NEC TurboGrafx platforms. Here the users may buy Wii Points with a credit card or redeem a Wii Points Card purchased at retail to add points to their account, then redeem points to download these Virtual Console games. Users also can use points to download the Opera browser used in the Internet Channel.
Virtual Console Channel: You will be able to play classic NES, SNES, N64, Megadrive, PC Engine games you've downloaded here.
Internet Channel: Browse the internet using an adapted Opera browser.
Forecast Channel: Users can access free local weather forecasts after turning on the Wii console. When connected to the Internet, the WiiConnect24 service automatically updates local weather information.
News Channel: Users can access the most up-to-date breaking news from around the world, organized into a variety of topical categories. When connected to the Internet, the WiiConnect24 service automatically updates this free channel.
Photo Channel: This channel allows users to retrieve digital pictures from an SD memory card inserted into the Wii console. Users also can manipulate the photos in a variety of ways, such as zooming into details or creating mosaics, puzzles or slide shows. Users can even add an MP3 tune from their SD memory card to their slide shows. It provides a fun and easy outlet for people to edit and show off their digital pictures.
Wii Message Board: Users can leave messages for other family members on a calendar-based message board. They also can use WiiConnect24 to send messages to people outside the home as well. Even better, people can trade photos and text messages with cell phone users. The service also allows for incoming messages targeted at software, such as a new map or weapon for a game. Games can constantly be updated, thereby extending their playability.
