The Big N have today officially launched their Channel for the console in the USA.

An interactive guide to the wonderful world of the platform holder appears to be the order of the day. The channel will also serve trailers, and will be updated with new content via the Wi-Fi Connection.

"Nintendo Channel is an interactive guide to what’s new in the world of Nintendo - now available for easy download from the Wii Shop Channel. Watch trailers, mini-documentaries, product demonstrations, and gameplay videos," reads word from the firm.

"Browse the game guide pages to get information about your favorite games on Wii and Nintendo DS. You can even click to order games straight from your Wii, if you have the Internet Channel installed. Make sure your Wii is connected to the internet, and get started!"

WiiWare will launch in North America come May 12th. No concrete European plans have been offered yet.
