WiiWare Wait Over!

It's Wiiware day folks and what's this? Nintendo are spoiling us with an actual demo of a game as well?! They're really getting the hang of this new fangled interweb online thing aren't they... but hang on, there's some small print... you can only play the demo if one of your online friends has bought the full version! Way to go Nintendo! Which bright spark thought that one up eh? Oh well, we should all be grateful it's actually here and we finally get to see Lost Winds and Final Fantasy Chronicles, after we've deleted some channels, copied a load of VC games on to the SD card to make some room on the 48k of internal memory and then checked the Wii points website to find that once again they won't be adding any more until 3:37am on the 3rd Tuesday of next month.

I jest of course, it's here! What more could you ask for? I mean it's not my birthday or anything... well, actually it is but lets keep that quiet eh ;)

They're Watching You

Having launched yesterday for some regions and coming to the UK on the 30th May, the new Nintendo Channel keeps you up to date with upcoming games with access to trailers, mini-documentaries, product demonstrations, gameplay videos and even the ability to download DS demos straight to your DS.

It seems part of this new channel allows Nintendo to collect all kinds of data about you should you let them, but here's the catch... if you don't opt in you lose access to those DS demos.

So what information does Nintendo collect from you each time you use the channel then? Well there's quite a list which you'll find here. Quite a substantial amount of information I think most people would agree, but it's ok, it's all non-personal and completely anonymous... unless you have your Wii linked to your Nintendo account...

Does sharing this information worry you at all? Will you be opting in or bowing out? Come and vote on the GAMEOV3R Forum
