 We wont.  Japan is all under the same provider I believe, which allows them to do this with the Wii.  America is under a ton of providers.  Nintendo wont go through the bother on convincing and making deals with all of those providers so we can have TV Guide on our Wiis.  

 

Oh and Everybody's Nintendo Channel came out in November, 07 in Japan.  I hope we get it soon.  Definitely thi month or next month. (WiiWare is in May)

TV program Schedule

 

Omg they have TBS in Japan too ?!! I think this is pretty useless since every tv has a tv guide channel or digital box u could just hit input/output to switch to check. 

 


 

It's not your TBS, it's Toyko Boardcasting System

 Nintendo America and Nintendo Europe have already stated that they won't be doing it, unfortunately

Wait.... WTF?



Meh. I was really hoping for a demo channel instead of this. Nintendo can do that and I don't know why they haven't yet...

Apparently I don't undersand why TV guide is useful on a console, but then I do have 2 TVs set up in my living room so if I'm on a console I can watch TV on the other...where I have a TV guide...still, couldn't you just change your TV input more easily than opening that channel?
