Surprise Nintendo news today. A new channel was launched: "Nintendo Channel."

Here's a pretty good video walk through of what it offers.

It's not all THAT interesting, imo, but a couple cool things.

Basically, a lot of videos of game demos. Eh, whatever. Although it's got things like interviews with developers which might be cool.

On the slightly more interesting side, it gives you easy acceess to downloadable, playable game demos. And it introduces a recommendation system that lets you go in and say how much you like a game, who in your household liked it, whether you'd recommend it and to whom. Kinda interesting, and I think they'll be using that data to push game recommendations out to you, if they aren't already. Another site says that if you're looking at info on a game within this channel, there's a link that takes you to the internet channel and a list of online retailers that you can then order from, which sounds pretty convenient.

Not spectacular, and clearly just another way for Nintendo to market at us. But I'm curious to see where they go with it.
