As many of you know the Wii and DS Shop Channels were down for maintainence today. The Wii Shop Channel appears to be back up and if you connect it will ask you to perform a system update.
After performing that update, which does not seem to be very big as it did not take a minute to download, you can now access the Wii Shop Channel. It does not look, as of yet, that anything has been done to the shop. I would imagine that this is in preparation for another big update coming very soon. If you remember Denise Kaigler a few days ago was promising Wii owners that were connected to the internet would be receiving a big surprise and the evidence points to some kind of update to the Shop Channel.
I've put in word to Nintendo to find out what's going on and as soon as I hear back from them I'll let you know.
Update: There should now be a message on your Wii Menu saying that if you were one of the people that spent 500 points to download the Internet Channel you now have the opportunity to buy "One Free Title" by clicking the appropriate button on the top screen of the Wii Shop Channel. The offer expires at 11:59 pm PST on December 31st, so act now. You've got just over two months to redeem your free game from the Wii Shop Channel.
