If you thought the Wii channels for weather, photos and news were it, get online and download the new Everybody Votes Channel. This simple polling system is surprisingly deep with the game-like ability to try to predict the outcome of a simple two-answer query. Stats show how dialed in you are and whether your outcome predictions are more mainstream than your own personal tastes. Simply register your Mii and then drag the avatar onto your choice of, say, what's the better Valentine's gift: chocolates or roses? Then check back later to see how you did. You'll need both a system update and a free Wii Shop download to get this new feature, which shows Nintendo does have plans to fill the remaining dashboard slots with more than just Virtual Console games. Then again, they better come up with a way for you to save these files somewhere other than system memory, or you'll soon be awkwardly juggling downloads between SD cards and on-board storage...
