Network Channel

The Nintendo Wii uses a wireless internet connection to do several things. If you don't have wireless internet in your home, you can purchase a Nintendo USB connecter to hard wire the Wii to your internet connection. You can browse the internet with the Opera web browser in the Internet Channel. At first, you had to pay to get the Internet Channel, until Nintendo made it free. You can purchase Wii points on the Wii Shop Channel and use your Wii points to buy extra things for games and more channels . A Wii Points Card can also be purchased at any retail store that sells Nintendo products. There are some things that you can do on the Wii shop channel for free. One of these is the Check Mii Out Channel, where you can enter your Miis into contests and put them on display. There is also the Everybody Votes Channel, where you can answer polls and see the results. It is fun guessing which results will be more popular. You can attach a USB keyboard to your Wii to make typing easier, or you can use the on screen keyboard to type. You can also use the Virtual Console in the Wii Shop Channel to play classic games from past consoles like the NES, Saga, Genesis, Super Nintendo, or Nintendo 64. You can receive news from Nintendo about their latest games. You can also download demos of games for the Nintendo DS and the Wii. You can use the internet to upgrade the Wii's software regularly. Many games are played over Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection using a friend code. You can set a password in the parental controls so that parents can control when their children use the Wii to browse the internet. You can include local and general news about the Wii and see weather forecasts around the world. But also play online games. You have the opportunity to play online games such as Battlestar Galactica, WoW or any games via LAN.
