E3: New Wii Channel shown

Nintendo's US boss Reggie Fils-Aime showed off a new Channel for Wii at the company's E3 conference earlier today.

It's called Check Mii Out and is based around Mii avatars created by people around the world. It will let you vote on other creations and even take home ones you really like. There's no word yet on when it will be available.

Nintendo displayed the Channel as part of its ongoing commitment to the online world, alongside announcements of multiplayer enabled titles like Mario Kart, and the WiiWare game download service (Wii Software in Europe) promised next year.

Head over to our Live Text commentary of the event to catch up with the other announcements, and watch out for a detailed roundup with better jokes soon.
