Play around with the Wii News Channel a day early
The 1.4 million Wii users who’ve taken the console online so far, might be interested to know the free News Channel is available today (a day early, just how we like our news) after you update your Wii. Powered by news from the Associated Press, Nintendo puts a simple solution for straight news right in the palm of your hand in the form of the Wii Remote.
Some fun Easter eggs can be discovered too. If you click the cats in the loading bar they make sounds. In the news list you can choose Slideshow and get the news from around the world shown to you, but if you click on the bottom-right Globe button you can move the globe around by grabbing it like you would in the Weather Channel and then find news all around the world. Sadly I can’t find the talking cow in Des Moines 
Handy is that when you’re reading an article you selected, you can click and hold the 1 button to underline the text in red that you want to point out. I just remembered that in the Slideshow you can select the speed the articles fly by at with the 1 & 2 buttons. The rest is pretty straight forward with A selecting things, D-pad for choosing directions, 1 & 2 buttons to adjust article text size, and using B to scroll through pages fast like you would in the Internet Channel.
Here’s a demo video of the Wii News Channel:
