I guess I'm whining then, because it's yet another worthless feature. How about less channels & more good games???ColoradoKindBud
How about realizing that the team that makes the channels has nothing to do with making games, and stopping the channels wouldn't help at all in creating new games anyway?

I realize that channels & games have nothing to do with each other, I'm just trying to make a point here. More good games & less BS features would be appreciated.

I don't think you're getting it. More features =/= fewer good games. The two are completely mutually exclusive. I'd rather have both than just have one.
woo, some ppl on here are pathetic. it is cool and free, and ninty are doing this 2 start 2 build an online community. and why do people say the wii has no good games, it took the 360 over a year 2 start 2 get good games.

I agree with you there, both would be good. And I do get it, I'm just saying that more channels with pointless features isn't going to make me like my Wii more, but more good games will.

Stop using numbers in place of single-syllable words, then people may start to take you seriously.

How about realizing that the team that makes the channels has nothing to do with making games, and stopping the channels wouldn't help at all in creating new games anyway? there are hundreds of other better features you can put your time and energy into online besides making a poll asking what is your favorite part about valentines day. And no, its not a cool feature.

How about pulling your head out of your *** and realizing there are hundreds of other better features you can put your time and energy into online besides making a poll asking what is your favorite part about valentines day. How about you STFU and realize that this is the only system currently implemented on ANY of the three consoles that allows the parent company to communicate directly with and receive accurate feedback from its userbase. Think it's just limited to asking everyone's favorite color? That has more to do with your limited imagination than Nintendo screwing up its priorities (which it certainly hasn't done).

I am not bothered, i just wish they would release a music channel and stuff that people will find more useful. Who knows though this could potentially be used to Nintendo's advantage.

Like I said, it could be an invaluable customer service tool. It's the only service that allows direct interaction between company and customer. It may be only limited interaction, but it's better than nothing, and it's right at your fingertips. Don't be surprised if future polls include questions posted from developers to consumers asking for game suggestions or improvements that could be applied to future sequels.

It's free It's cool to alot of folks, and you are not required to participate. It takes nothing away from the system or game development. It is a good thing.

Agreed, I was pleasently suprised and I'm actually interesting to see how the voting goes. It's all bout community if you ask me

If you honestly believe that, then I feel sorry for you. You know I'm right, li'l brownie. It's standard practice for service companies to implement methods for collecting user feedback and public opinion, but too often those mechanisms are either hidden behind layers of separation (e.g. feedback forms) or are too limited in scope because they have to be manually conducted (focus groups). In either case, they are limited in effectiveness. The Votes channel allows Nintendo to directly query its entire userbase whenever they need to. And by disguising a potentially invaluable customer service feature for internal use as a lighthearted extra feature, they can make the process of feedback collection seamless to the overall "Wii experience" for the end user. To the end user, it's no different than those polls that GameSpot or IGN have, except that THESE polls could have very real and very positive consequences because it's actually a major game developer that's collecting the information and not a simple news site.
[QUOTE="Warfust"]It's free It's cool to alot of folks, and you are not required to participate. It takes nothing away from the system or game development. It is a good thing. It can even add to the system and game development eventually. They lure people in with fun polls, and occasionally throw in one that is serious, for the development of a game. Besides, I like polls.
I want the demo channel :(dont care if its for DS or Wii or both I want a demo channel)
I want a wi-fi channel which tells me which of my freind are online (DS and Wii) aslo with leader boards, so on and if I have activated it in my wii allow me to talk to strangers   (i know this wont come out until online games are out)
The everyone votes channel is mildly amuzing but it realy shows what Nintendo think of the online system, all about content, but Its lonely for every one. If the channel is done right it could attauly effect your games like if you like cat and not dogs you get a dog as a pet in a game instead of a dog. if you voted every one else will like dogs they all have dogs (or at least most of them).

Maybe nintendo will use the polls on the voting channel to see what gamers want from the online service? I just created a poll regarding the use of either a central friend code..or having firend codes for each game. I'm sure the central FC idea will win by a ....but I really want nintendo to notice that little poll of mine and make some revisions to their online strategy
I havent updated my Wii console yet (going to on the weekend when i mooch of my friends internet) but it sounds like a waste of space on the wii, and sounds pretty stupid. Something that would be entertaining for a while, but then just stupid.
