I'm downloading/updating it right now....might be interesting

Well this is fun. Not something that takes up a lot of time either. Will be interesting to see how much it gets updated.

Well, quite a surprise, and definitely says there will be new channels, and it might not be long before we get some of them, too, not even including this one.

They have questions expiring in 1 3 and 6 days. My bet is that there are always three questions available nationally, who knows globally (probably 3 max there too). So, they should be updating it every few days.

I submitted a question on behalf of The Colbert Nation: "George W. Bush: Great President or The Greatest President?"

Color me paranoid. What's the purpose? Marketing? Marketing for their partners? Must Nintendo know every single thing about me, down to what socks I wear? This can't be as innocent as it looks...

Does the new system update do anything special, or is it just for the Everybody Votes Channel?

You don't need to answer, or even download it for that matter

This channel is not Dale Gribble approved!

The system update allows you to better specify your "region". Previously it was country only. Now (for the US at least) you can also choose State.

Yeah, you can choose Province in Canada too..

In my case, I was finally able to select Puerto Rico rather that just select the US.

I didn't see this coming at all. But the write your own polls is great, my first question was "Do you want to see more games have full online play?"
Answers, "Hell, yes!" and "What he said"
Great chance to tell nintendo what I want.

Yes, Nintendo. You keep releasing good VC games and entirely new Channels while my Wii is unavailable. >_<

Well, that means when it's returned, I'll have more to do with it to welcome it back!

Just a little correction, the update to 2.0U has been out for awhile. I think it was a few weeks ago.

It's a decent channel, voting is pretty quick and I can't wait to see how close I am to the overall opinion. I hope that future polls can be expanded to more than 2 answers though.

If nothing else, this proves that Nintendo CAN, in fact, surprise us with new channels.

Wonder if this was going to be their holiday surprise.

Hell, it DID come out almost on Valentines. It's kinda a "holiday" surprise...

Hilarious, I'm gonna have to fire up the Wii right now!

I'll ask the question "Do u like Friend Codes: Yes or No", my prediction will be 100% on No.

It's a neat little game. Bolsters the sense of "community" they always talked about. Hopefully this means we'll be getting plenty of other surprise channel releases every few months throughout the Wii's life span.

Isn't the friend codes thing greatly exaggerated?

I mean, the ONLY game that uses it at the moment is Pokemon Revolution, and that's because of the DS game. Nintendo has said time and time again that you only needed one code per system, and I doubt third parties would bother to implement an independent code system for each of their games.

Am I missing something?

Do you have any links or sources that Nintendo said only one code per system? I am not sure what exactly was said about it, all I know about is Pokemon Revolution!

I guess we'll know for sure when Nintendo finally releases a second online game!

I was concerned that this was some kind of marketing thing too, until I saw the questions. I mean, what is Nintendo really going to get out of knowing that I like dogs more than cats? (actually, I couldn't answer that one, I like them both equally, and for different reasons).

I think it's just one more example of Nintendo trying to get us to use Wii every day - Nintendo has stated that every day use is a goal for Wii, which in my opinion is a much loftier and more interesting goal than "have the most powerful hardware". Practically speaking, this is probably the most useless channel yet - but it's very quick and easy and I think many people will check on it as often as Nintendo updates it.

As of right now 100% of online Games on the Wii uses Friend Codes. (Pokemon Rev)
50% with online capability uses Friend Codes.(Pokemon Rev and Elebits)

Got of love tuned truths.

Anyway, I think this channel will help Wii owners feel more like a community. Plus, as mentioned, its a good way to give Nintendo Feedback. I want to pose question:

"Is Nintendo of America's Reward Program not up to the Standards presented by Japan and Europe's programs? !: Yes 2: No"

Or a poll on how people feel about Online play. I do agree though that hopefully it will be one day be expanded to 4 choices and maybe include pictures in special cases.

I don't trust it until it has a paper trail. I bet it's being counted by Diebold.

That aside, it's not out in Europe yet.

I'll ask the question "Do u like Friend Codes: Yes or No", my prediction will be 100% on No.

Nintendo response: DELETED!

"Is Nintendo of America's Reward Program not up to the Standards presented by Japan and Europe's programs? !: Yes 2: No"

DELETED!

You guys can forget any questions like Friend Codes yes/no from ever being posted. This is clearly not meant to be some serious polling place, if it was questions like that would've came up from the beginning.

I wish it allowed open ended questions, I want to know how you type with boxing gloves on.

Other than that, half of the questions don't even apply to me. How I like my eggs? Not at all, thank you. Which I like better, cats or dogs? They both taste like chicken anyway.

Human tastes like pork...

So you're that German cannibal..

I'm glad that everyone who is WISE voted Roses.

My suggestion for a question: Which movie do you like more? 2001: A Space Odyssey, or Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

I don't know enough about your taste in movies to know which one "should be" voted for. But I think it's a pretty fair question: one movie represents the ultimate in intellectual science fiction with an art-film, sometimes narrative-lite dynamic that breaks the classical formula, while the other is a narrative film with strong emotional pull, little ambiguity, but strong core ideas and presentation. Although I certainly think one is better than the other, I can see why people would prefer Close Encounters over Kubrick's masterpiece.

There you go second guessing yourself.

Wouldnt no codes per system be better?

I didn't like 2001.
