The Photo Channel

[figgler]

So I got an SD card this weekend. I don't have Excite Truck (yet) but it was cheap (about $50 Canadian for a gig and a reader) so I grabbed it.

Not having Excite Truck, there isn't much you can do with it except back up your Wii saves and VC games. But I decided to upload a few songs and pics just to try it out.

And it turns out the Photo Channel doesn't suck. At first I thought it was an automatic throw away channel, and quickly relegated it to the second page, but it's not so bad. You can import photos obviously and there are some very basic MS Paint type things you can do with them. I thought it was neat too that you can make your pics into a 4 piece puzzle, then once you complete it, you unlock the ability to change the number of pieces in the puzzle. It keeps track of best time to complete the puzzles too, which adds a cool gaming-ness to it.

You can also create a slideshow with a variety of options and use your own songs as the music. All in all, not going to be used very often, but well made and it's even fun, as you'd expect from Nintendo.

I read your topic as The PROTO Channel. I was all excited there for a moment...

I like the puzzle thing, but they need to make the puzzle pieces shaped liked puzzles. Maybe even add a little shadow to it as well.

 

You can actually create a puzzle out of a video file too. Try putting on of those together!!
