Nintendo of America has launched a new Wii Channel that offers game trailers, interviews, DS demos and a game rating system.
The new channel offers information on upcoming and previously-released first- and third-party Wii and DS titles, among other features.
One of the more compelling elements of the channel is the ability to download DS demos such as Brain Age 2, Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword and Flash Focus to your DS. You simply select the DS game in the Wii's Nintendo Channel, turn on your DS and download the demo wirelessly.
The new channel also allows users to rate games that they've played for more than an hour. A few questions are asked, including how old the person is who has been "enjoying" the game the most, his or her gender, whether the game is considered "casual" or "hardcore," whether the game in question is more fun alone or with friends, and how much (or little) the game is recommended overall.
The channel is available as a free download in the Wii Shop's WiiWare section.
