    WOOHOO. Holy crap; the Wii Ware stuff sounds cool, WOOHOO for finally the DS Demo Channel being released, that was speculated about loads. Wow, I also like the Wii Reccomendation channel ^^. Don't know how user reviews would work.. unless you could access the Channel from the computer itself and post up user reviews; otherwise typing up user reviews are hard; unless you can hook up your Keyboard =P. Wii Fit in Japan Dec. 1st, woohoo, that means it'll be here soon =]!! What the hell Super Smash Bros. Brawl got delayed in Japan? Omg that sucks LMAO. I hope it doesn't get delayed here, new co-op and Sonic being in brawl is amazing .

    Holy crap there's so many things. Wtf.

    It wasn't speculated, they talked about the DS Demos a while before the Wii launched. It was just being demonstrated today (and thank god, too, I was wondering if it was quietly cancelled or something).

    Oh, and you already can use your keyboard. You could use it just on the Wii Menu and Shop Channel, but just yesterday there was an update allowing you to use USB keyboards on all of the leftover channels that you can type in, the Internet Channel and Everybody Votes. I'm assuming this will use USB keyboards, as well (which I just realized that I am using right now after checking the USB port, which means I don't have to buy one!).

    But, yes, today was huge. So many new stuff, Sonic in Brawl, online co-op in Brawl, the WiiWare games (That new FF:CC game looks awesome, and why the hell does a downloadable game look graphically better than almost any Wii game on the market?), a plethora of new games (both retail and WiiWare), lots of new footage (for games with very little of it, such as Disaster and Battalion Wars II), new information about a few games (12-player online races in Mario Kart, improved online for less lag than MKDS), two new channnels unvieled (with the "Everybody's Wii Channel", as it is called in Japan, looking awesome).

    Wow, just wow. This totally makes up for their lacklustre E3.

    So many lovely things coming our way, I want Brawl and Mario Kart more than ever and I want to see how decent the Wii Ware games are. Wasn't expecting Wii Fit to be coming out so early in Japan, thought that would be definitely an 08 release, even in the land of the rising sun.
