If you have your Wii set in WiiConnect24 mode you will be waking up to your Wii's glowing disc tray alerting you to some cool surprises in the next two months, according to teasing statements from Nintendo America honcho, Reggie Fils-Aime.

WiiConnect24 has had minimal use since the console's launch in the last year, but Reggie has said the surprises Nintendo promised at last year's E3 are "still coming".

"We announced at E3 [this year] a new channel: the Check Mii Out Channel. And we still have plans...", teased Fils-Aime.

"The surprise is coming... by the end of September," he goes on to reveal. "I think you'll like this surprise," he told GameHead.

[mcdougall57]

maybe its that homebrew thing they were going on about, where devs can make their own games

I hope it's an HDD-extension update or a "Miidia" channel. Other than that, I'm not looking forward to that new Mii Channel.

Thats the wiiware.

But I dont think its the wiiware or check mii out channel. Nintendo said "surprise".
