The US Nintendo Wii site has posted that the Forecast Channel will be appearing on the December 20th, basically this is a weather channel but youll need to be connected to the internet to use it.

Awesome I just woke up to my Wii's blue light dimming in and out, it turned out it was a message from Nintendo saying that my Wii was ready to update for the forecast channel:thumbup:. I can say that the Forecast channel is really handy and easy to use it's not at all slow like the VC channel.

I think Australia got it before anyone else:thumbup:

Hehe, yep. It was cool waking up and coming downstairs to see the blue light glowing. It only took about 30 seconds to download the update too.

I hope they add more cities though, the nearest I could get to my home is a city 20 miles away. It's still really cool though

Now what about the news channel ?

I hadnt recived a wii-mail from nintendo, But after I saw there where people that had it working already, I tried the forcast channel. I downloaded the update and it works!!

So i suppose its out in the US as of now actuelly

The globe feature is a nice touch. Its for the most part everything I had hoped it would be
