Japan's gotten a number of Wii Channels the past two or so years which the rest of the world has yet to see - Still nothing has been said about a western release of the TV Guide channel, the Wii no Ma channel and others.
Well, except for one of them - Since late 2008, Japan has had a channel with which you could read your horoscope. This channel will finally be making its way elsewhere this week - Europe is set to get it tomorrow (Perhaps because tomorrow is 09/09/09) as the "Today and Tomorrow Channel." As with all other Channels, it'll be completely free and downloadable from the Wii Shop.
Nothing has been said about a North American release, but we'd imagine it to follow quickly.

I bet NoA will suprise us and we'l' get it too, just like flipnote.
Yay? At least it's probably a better read than our state-wide newspaper's horoscope dude, he's terrible
i don't really think i'd use this channel that much i wish we get the Wii No Ma Channel soon though x.x;
I wonder how many will depend their lifes on this channels suggestions. It suggests you what to eat and which friends to visit or not (if you made Miis with their birthdates).
Or how many users will check if the get along with Hitler (by horoscope)
Any more of this inane trash and my horoscope will become very predictable indeed: it will feature me walking into Game to trade-in Wii against a new PS3 slim.
Horoscopes are a load of rubbish IMHO. So no thank you.
This channel seems pointless to a skeptic like myself.
Eh I'm not surprised who gets it first, but I'm sure we get it soon after...
I'll try it. I get the feeling it'll be promptly deleted, though.
Sound funny, and since it's free I'll give it a go for sure.
Sounds like another wasted channel idea.
Not even downloading it, what a stupid idea for a channel. Horoscopes are a load of ********! Ug!
@Machu - agreed.
Not worth the system memory it takes up
@Machu - thirded.
It's funny that of all channels released in Japan, they decide to bring this one over. Whatever happened to that business card channel? I would've even preferred that.
The upside to this is we are finally starting to get free channels again. For a moment it seemed as if Ninty was only going to continue apps and stuff on DSi. Hopefully Nintendo is hard at work on localizing the Wii no Ma channel for a worldwide release.
OMG... Nintendo gives us something for FREE!!! Let's start complaining!!
Seriously, Nintendo could give everyone a copy of the Metroid Prime Trilogy for free, people would still complain.
It absolutely doesn't matter, if this channel is stupid or worthless or a waste of memory (omg, my 2GB SD card will suffer from that one, lol), it's for FREE, gorramn it. Never look a gift horse in the mouth.
I´d take Mario calculator or metronome before this crap. I bet it even can´t predict your sexlife
I'll pass on this one. In fact, there's not a single free channel that Nintneod's given us that I've kept for any amount of time.
Is this Wii channel good?
I tried it and it seemed to be about as useful as Everybody Votes or Mii Contest Channel...
A Horroscope... I have that on MSN
@ Mange - It may not be able predict your sex life, but you're still not going to be getting any...
Could Things For The Wii Get Any Worse?
@bobbynewmarkiii: lol
Just because it's free, people, doesn't mean it's not ****.
Japan loves this kind of stuff so this channel isn't pointless at all. It's just the cultural differences make it seem that way.
Will you still be asked for your blood type is what I want to know!
@Sean Aaron.A good point. The last time Nintendo asked for your Blood type was one of the Fire emblem games for the GBA and the blood type option vanished from non-Japanese releases presumably as people don't really know their blood types.
The only channels I use are the internet channel while my PC starts up, or the Nintendo channel for DS demos but they barely update that so its hardly used, really have no interest in the superstition channel but it will probably prove popular all the same.
Hoping NA will get it also get this tomorrow as well.
Official site.
My mum (who doesn't like any games console or game) is really looking forward to the horoscope channel; mainly beacuase she believes and likes that sort of thing. i am quite looking forward to it (WHY is evereyone complaining about it already when they havn't even had it yet and it is FREE!! FREE things are the BEST things!)
Nothing exciting, but the price is right.
Awesome, the Wii needs more free, pointless channels -- seriously. I love the voting channel. They are funny little time wasters.
Honestly, if you don't want it, don't get it.
I don't believe in such things either, so what, it's free, and it's just for fun. There are people that love this stuff, why insulting them?, why to be angry for getting a FREE app you don't like?, don't get it, problem solved .
Hmm, I think I'll ask my psychic if I should download this or not.
Seeing as horoscopes are completely bogus, this channel is useless.
well i might be downloading this, just for fun and because its free
What a load of rubbish, why can't they make useful channels?
They can, megaman-sam. The Internet Channel is pretty damn useful, and while the Everybody Votes Channel and things of that nature aren't useful, they're nice little time-wasters.
Why does Nintendo waste their time with such USELESS channels like this one when the DSi still lacks Virtual Handheld? I'm confused.
Its just some free add on for your Wii. Im pretty sure they have poeple making channels in a seperate team that wouldnt TOUCH anything like the Virtual Handheld. They invented the money printing machine, they ARE able to multitask
how useless
227 blocks for 1 minute of fun. It's full of the usual polish 'll admit, and I'm sure some people will think it's great. But I'd much rather see Nintendo spending time and money on something with more substance. Deleted!
i was bit shocked by 227 block size! i found it pointless channel my birthday fall's on 23/12/1983 and ive always been a capricorn only to be told that am now sagittarius?? i think got that wrong nintendo!!
as for rest of it its lots of stupid hints and though its got nice clear layout i found it pointless addition id prefer nintendo come up with something little more useful like Wii demo channel or update some older channels with new lease of life! instead of other channel thats as useful as nunchuk by its self.
that's something for the ladies
71 luck, lucky colour white, Put my white socks on. had rice and salad. Then did the house work. It told me to clean my toilet.
Chibi link, I'm in Australia and I downloaded it last night...
Meh... Much rather have the NC update or the Wii no Ma channel.
Out of all the channels they could make they did THIS!?!?!?!?
Horoscopes are as real as Mother 3 coming to the US.
44 luck, lucky colour light blue, eat meat, and clean the fridge.
