My first brief impression of the "Nintendo Channel" – What are yours?

[DarkNight_DS]

Here's what I said over at GoNintendo.com:

When I jumped into the channel yesterday I expected things to be pretty slim. It just launched and it most likely launched just to give Wii Fit a bigger push which to me is fine.

I want to see EVERY wii and DS game get a video, a synopsis, some screen shots and box art. That way everyone can search for whatever game they may be thinking about getting and have a look see before they buy it.

I also want to see Nintendo do something for the core gamer with it’s VC games. I want to see VC games get their original promo’s put up on the channel with new video’s of gameplay. I also expect original box art and any cool things they used to advertise the game originally included in this channel. This would go a long way to gain respect from “core” gamers as nostalgia would win us all over.

1 last thing…. WHY JUST 8 DS DEMO’s???? Surely they could have thrown up all the other DS demo’s they’ve ever used for everyone to try out. This is kinda silly to me.

Also, is it just me or is this the worst layed out channel/piece of software that Nintendo has ever had a hand in? Was someone asleap at the wheel when they passed this channel? Why do I have to search for things by randomly clicking on things? I'm going to bet a lot of people will never even see that there are DS demo's available in the channel due to the awkward menu system.
