The Nintendo Wii has many Channels such as the News Channel and the Wii Shop Channel. Now Nintendo has announced that effective immediately, Wii owners can download the Internet Channel for free.
When Nintendo launched the Wii in November 2006, the company offered the Internet Channel for free. Then, starting from July 2007, the channel could be downloaded for 500 Wii Points. And now, the Internet Channel is again available for no added cost, or for zero Wii Points. Additionally, the channel now supports an upgraded version of Adobe Flash player.
“Wii has truly changed the way people play games, but it is more than just a game console,” commented Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “Wii owners have access to a wealth of fun entertainment, information and practical tools like the Internet Channel, which is another great way for the whole family to enjoy their consoles with no additional costs involved.”
The Internet Channel can be downloaded by Wii owners from the Wii Shop Channel and can be used to browse the internet from the comfort of their couches. Starting in October, all those who redeemed points to download the channel, will be able to download at no cost, one VC game valued at 500 Wii Points.
