third party channels

[kacper00100]

do you think there will ever be any third party or user made channels for the wii that you could just download from the internet channel for free?

Can't see it myself, Nintendo would need to open up their menu API to the outside world, it would mean that we could end up with virus', trojans and all manner of other hellish stuff. On this note I hope they never do....And besides as I keep saying...your Wii is for playing games not channels, they're just extras.

yeah i agree but nintendo could really limit channels, preview them and test them out before they were released.

i think that their should be more channels but i dont want 3rd parties to make them.....

what if it was channels created by ubisoft etc
all the great game brands and also nintendo will obviously preview it and limit the things that can be used in it

 

[kevmaster]

That would be amazing

 

[GoldenAssassin]

Awesome idea.

isnt that what wii-ware is about?

 

[Gdog]

Nope, I don't think so. I would like that, but I don't think so...

if there were 3rd party channles...there would have to be a place to buy them.... cuz im pretty sure the wii-ware is for nintendo-made channels only...
maybe you could download them off the web...like RSS channels

Hmmm...I think the problem here is that the API would most probably get leaked onto the net and from there anyone can find the security loopholes. Keeping channel development in house means they can limit the possibility of this happening and not have to worry about security so much.

It is exactly what wii-ware is about. So yes, 3rd party channels will be available.

but then how could they put it on wii? nintendo will have like a security thing that only they can put channels on the shop

and it wont read if its on the sd card or anything
