I deleted the Nintendo Channel a long time ago now, and while I could see some people enjoying it, it's pure junk in my opinion.

Well it useful if you want to know what game to get next on Wiiware or the game store(helpful when you not to sure about a upcoming game that interest you), Also I haven't use it in a while since our wireless router like acting up here and there.

Ya, it is pretty useful. I really liked the Ninjatown demo. Now if only I could find a store that sells that game... And as Serbine said, it's also good for seeing how long a game will last you (since it shows the average play-time of the people who responded) and what other games they played so you can get further recommendations. One thing I don't get is why, when you fill out your recommendation information for a game you score it, but there's no way to see the aggregate score of the game. What is that information used for?

Well I don't have a DS, so that channel is pretty useless for me. If only I had a DS...

This thread was so pointless because you can just delete the channel and if you end up deciding you want to use it, you can download it again...absolutely free. And that is your opinion that you are stating as fact and I hate when people push their opinion to be like fact. Also, nobody forced you to download the channel, did they?

I use it once a week to download the weekly DS demos, and to watch some of the new videos.

I bought two DS games because I played their demos first so I don't think it's useless outside of that. :P I guess it's also a good way for Nintendo to look at how people feel about their games.

:lol: YES, I loved that Rev Run plays Wii Music video. But other than that, I agree there's not much use for it.

The DS Download Service is the best feature of the Nintendo Channel for me. If it weren't for that, I'd probably get rid of it. But since I have it, I do occasionally look through the list of new games to watch some videos. It's convenient.

One thing I don't get is why, when you fill out your recommendation information for a game you score it, but there's no way to see the aggregate score of the game. What is that information used for?clicketyclick

My guess is that it's used for the "people who liked this game also liked..." category. If you rate a game highly, it'll be added to that statistic. If you rate it on the low end, it won't. It would be nice to see the average rating that people have given a game, though I'm guessing Nintendo doesn't show that so that games with low ratings don't lose potential buyers because of it.

Oh ya, that does make a whole lot of sense. I never really thought about how they did the "people who liked this also liked" feature. I just figured it was like iTunes, which I always assumed is based on title ownership correlation. i.e. what counts as what people who liked Game X also liked = the top 3 games that people who owned Game X also owned.

I can see though why they wouldn't display the average rating. However, it might encourage 3rd parties to make better games... :D

Pretty useless to me because I use Gamespot BUT there is a DS game I just checked out today (I otherwise probably would never have logged onto the N channel again if it weren't for the uppdate[just wanted to check out what was new]), this cookbook game type helper thing. I also loved watching Lisa Kudrow demo it even though her performance was completely fake. If it weren't for that, I probably would never have found out about the game (which I will definitely not purchase but 'acquire' by other means)

I check the channel once a week.  I look at the DS downloads, and watch some of the videos I didn't see on the different gaming sites I frequently go to.
