Nintendo Channel updated in Japan
The Nintendo Channel received an update today, with the new version in available in Japan's Wii Shop offering a new interface and a few refined features. Andriasang offered a translated list of the changes.
Users can now select standard or high quality for videos, in a setting that is decided upon the first startup of the channel. Users can also make a "favorites list" of games in which they're interested. It is also possible to see more detailed records of playtime for games on your list. User rankings for games offer detailed information, like determining how much fun a game would be for one person vs. multiple gamers.
The interface tweaks, however, are more significant than they might sound. Searching has been improved, allowing users to find games based on title, genre, or publisher, and each game's information is easily accessible from any video or page about that game. The DS download service is also more centrally located.
Right now, the update is just for Japan, but it should make its way worldwide eventually!
