WiiWii gripes about the News Channel’s shortcomings, many of which we picky fans have already noticed.
Wii’s News Channel isn’t just competing against the internet as a source of news. On the TV itself, it’s up against 24-hour news channels and teletext. And it’s some way behind both of them. Part of the problem is the use of Associated Press as the single news provider, which will hopefully be remedied in the coming months.
Of course, the News Channel is a free, extra feature. While I can see a lot of room for improvement in the product in order to make it something worth buying the Wii for (or, to nudge the decision), I’m not exactly sure people should “complain” about a free feature, rather than constructively criticize or make suggestions for.
