Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies was just released on the DS -- if you've yet to check out our review, then here's the pertinent linkage. So, considering how much Square Enix has invested in the title, it's no surprise the brunt of producer Horii's chat (which you can see for yourself past the break) largely revolves around his hopes for the game. Basically, he wants everyone to play it. What a surprise!

If you weren't able to get to E3 this year, you've likely kept up through our E3 page -- if not, now's the time to check it out. But perhaps you like to digest your E3 media through the television? Nothing wrong with that. This week, the Nintendo Channel is offering up all kinds of Nintendo-focused videos, including Iwata Asks segments on Donkey Kong Country Returns, the 3DS and even one with Warren Specter on Disney Epic Mickey.

Then there are a flood of game-specific trailers to get through and an exclusive Nintendo roundtable on E3, plus several show floor tours of games on Nintendo platforms. Really, it's an onslaught of media -- head past the break for the full list of this week's content.

If you're looking for anything beyond that, you'll likely be disappointed. Aside from a new episode of Nintendo Week, it's slim pickings on the Nintendo Channel this week.

Now that we know there's a stack of flapjacks out there with its own gravitational pull, we just can't wait to dig in. Thankfully, we won't have to wait too long to satiate our need for edible planetary bodies.

See, this week some of the developers from Capcom show off a great deal of Monster Hunter Tri, documenting some of the weaponry, multiplayer features and, of course, the monsters in the series' latest. It's an enlightening few minutes of footage, so check it out above.

We suppose that the level of interest the game inspires could be related to your own cynicism. In short, if the look of this game does nothing for you, you're either too cynical or you've spent too much time playing the NES game.

There is no way to feel anything less than amped about a game that combines the dangerously awesome sport of rock climbing with the rebellious, implied rocking of air guitar.

After the break, you can see the full list. Spoiler alert: none of the demos involve rocking or rock climbing.

We've got the goods on the Nintendo Channel. We're experts. With all the killer stuff available online elsewhere around the world, Nintendo also falls into the "expert" category for having the good sense to launch the service in Australia and Europe. Why, it's not even very late!

PAL gamers can now catch up on a bunch of videos and interviews they have been eagerly waiting for, including the highly-anticipated DS demo download service, which should prove to be a hit for those tech-savvy kids and grandmas. It's a free download, so make sure to get connected and updated for the release on May 30. Like, tomorrow. Cancel all those dates, fellas!

After the surprise release of the Nintendo Channel today, we decided a video walkthrough was in order. So we've gone ahead and hooked up our fancy schmancy video equipment to get you this direct-feed footage of the Channel at work. Hopefully it'll help some of you determine whether or not this Channel is worth your download. Personally, we think it is.

Watch as we check out the many informative videos available, as well as the plethora of DS demos on tap.

That blue glow from our Wiis can only mean one thing -- time for an update!

This wasn't just any old update, though. After months of coveting the service, the Nintendo Channel (known in Japan as Everybody's Nintendo Channel) is finally available for download via the Wii Shop Channel. The download is free, but will take up a few blocks, so make sure you have enough space. You'll also need to have updated your Wii since March 20th in order to get it, according to Nintendo.

We're pretty pleased with what the channel has to offer so far. There's already around forty videos available for your viewing pleasure. Most of them are just trailers for upcoming Nintendo games, but there's also a nice little Miyamoto interview.

Aside from watching videos, make sure to click on the "Find Titles for You" tab. Here, you can check out the newest titles for Nintendo consoles, and also download demos for DS games.

These are just our initial impressions from browsing around the channel, so if you notice any other neat features, be sure to let us know in the comments! Nintendo also posted a video of the various things you can do with the channel, which you can check out here.

[Thanks to everyone who sent this in!]
