What can we extrapolate from this list? Well, the obviousness of Nintendo's content playing top fiddle is nothing new, especially since the video content largely stays on the video list FAR longer than third-party content.

Furthermore, every single video on the list had top billing on the main list at one point or another. Does this mean users are not checking out videos for comparatively less hyped titles, or are they merely outnumbered by a lack of publicity?

On a related note, I would kill if Nintendo actually advertised and pushed weekly WiiWare content. It is really frustrating for titles of varying quality being dumped on the service with no fanfare or build up. I do not want to fall into the hype, but I just want to know that the content EXISTS a while before it comes out.

In conclusion, the Nintendo Channel is rad. :P
