Finally, we get to see what the Wii Interface looks like in English! Yahoo UK got its hands on some Wii interface pictures, and they don’t disappoint. The interface offers a lot of the same features Microsoft offers for Xbox 360 users, including a “Wii Shop” channel where you can download content. Original NES games as downloadable content?! I hope so!
The other channels shown include the news, weather and image management. Why you would want to know what’s going on outside, while you’re inside with a brand new Wii baffles me. Just kidding (not really). Other pictures show some of the Wii’s messaging features, and also show the Mii avatar creation. The Mii creator lets you customize a little avatar from a bunch of preset features, allowing for hours of endless avatar fun. Check out the interface pictures after the jump!

cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!! cant wait to boy a wii
Nintendo has come up with a very clean and minimalist design. I think that’s a big plus. But I also can’t up feel like its very Japanese culture-oriented and too cutesy (Hello Kitty) to appeal to a lot of gamers into FPS and GTA. I guess we’ll see soon enough!
>Original NES games as downloadable content?! I hope so!
That has been confirmed by Nintendo for a long, long time. In fact, it was one of the first things they announced about the Wii. Yes, there are going to be downlaodable NES games. And SNES games. And N64 games. And Genesis/Megadrive games. And TurboGrafx games.
I NEED A WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
:-O
