Today and Tomorrow Channel launches for Free in Europe

Wii owners across the pond can look forward to a new channel September 9thÂ as the “Today and Tomorrow Channel” launches.

According to Nintendo UK, Today and Tomorrow Channel will let you check daily fortunes, fetch relationship advice, and recommend food based on your horoscope.Â Up to six users are supported, and the channel allows you to cross reference compatibility between users.

An oddly named “horoscope channel” seems like a logical step forward from “Everybody Votes,” and “Check Mii Out,” and remains a simple, casual application.Â How do you feel about these simple “Mii” channels?Â Is “Today and Tomorrow” something you’d like to see come to the US, or are you looking for something more complex?

Update: Wii Internet Channel now free

The free, then un-free Wii Internet Channel is now free again, reports GameIndustry.biz. Those of you who didn’t download in time and were forced to pay the 500 Wii Point to get this oft-unused Wii Channel will have the option of downloading a free NES Virtual Console game come October. That is all.

How do you feel about “Wii no Ma?”

wiinoma Yesterday Nintendo opened up a new page for it’s forthcoming Wii Video Service Channel “Wii no Ma.” The channel, which will be released in Japan on May 1st, allows you to populate a room with up to eight Mii’s to live in a real time virtual life while you watch and rate original videos that are delivered through the Wii’s internet connection.

But the “Wii no Ma” room isn’t just a stylish Japanese table and a slick flat-panel TV for your Miis to enjoy. You can also use the in room calendar to get information and trivia about different dates and holidays, and travel to different partner businesses (say a fast-food chain) to download coupons to your DS and use at an actual store, or even sign up for free samples to be delivered right to your door!
