The One and Only Written Review of the Wii Photo Channel
by Colin Geddes
February 8, 2007 - One of the most interesting additions to the Wii hardware is the ability to insert SD cards into the core system. The Photo Channel so far is the only software (with exception to Excite Truck) to utilize this function. The Wii will instantly recognize when you insert your SD card into the slot and will instantly display the pictures, and movies. You can also store music files on the SD card and play them during the slideshow presentation.
The Photo Channel features slideshow presentations, a photo editor, and a mosaic puzzle game. The slideshow is very impressive as it dramatically cycles through photos and movies. The photo editor allows users the ability to enhance images and movies as one would with a very basic adobe photo shop. There is a doodle mode that is very similar to the SNES Mario Paint that potentially can turn a work of art into a work of graffiti. Using a palate of colours and stickers it’s possible to add some hilarious oversized sunglasses and stink lines to add humour to an otherwise generic slideshow. The mosaic puzzle game is equally entertaining. Users can take their favorite photos and have them sliced into square pieces, shuffled, and then using the Wii Remote arrange the mosaic back to it’s original image. With some pictures, this isn’t as easy as one would think—once the image is completed to it’s original state, your time will be prompted. I was surprised to see how long it took me to rearrange my first puzzle!
The navigation of this channel is extremely user-friendly. I couldn’t imagine even my grandmother having difficulty operating the Photo Channel. Considering the ease of use, functionality, practicality, and the quality of the software I rate the Wii Photo Channel 8/10.
The Photo Channel will not in any way replace Adobe Photoshop, it is a practical useful tool to display pictures in an entertaining way from your living room. The Photo Channel is far better for displaying pictures off your TV than it is by directly connecting your digital camera. It not only looks better, but it’s so much easier to slide your SD card into the Wii than it is to plug in all those pesky cables! Although more features are desired, and would have been appreciated, a Wii owner should appreciate the addition of such a useful channel that was included in the purchase of the system.
Yea i agree 8/10

Seems like a realistic Wii Channel addition to me.
