Wii Channels are applications for the Wii and can be found on the Wii Menu. The Channels allow users to play games, access online content, create/edit their Miis, and more. The Wii Channels, with the exception of the Disc Channel, possess the ability to be relocated by holding the 
and 
buttons simultaneously then dragging the channel to an empty slot. Additional Wii Channels may be purchased from the Wii Shop and added to the Wii Menu, assuming the user has enough free space available.

Wii Shop Channel
An online store, the Wii Shop Channel offers a variety of downloadable, digital content for the Wii console. From the Shop Channel you may download "classic" games through the Virtual Console service, brand new Wii titles through the WiiWare service, and even other channels in the Wii Channels section.
While some of the content is free, the vast majority must be purchased. To this end, the Shop Channel utilizes a form of scrip known as Wii Points as the shop's currency. One Wii Point is the equivalent of 1¢ USD. Wii points may either be purchased through the Shop Channel directly (in 1000, 2000, 3000, and 5000 point denominations), or in the form of 2000 point gift cards from many major retailers.
Whenever software is downloaded, it is given it's own channel on your Wii Menu. If you are out of free slots (or storage space), you must remove enough channels to make room for new downloads. You may do this either by backing the data up to an SD card (from which it can be copied to a hard drive for long-term storage), or by simply deleting it from your system altogether. Nintendo keeps track of previously downloaded titles, so you can always re-download a deleted channel that you have already purchased.
Virtual Console
You can download games from older systems to be emulated on your Wii from the Wii Virtual Console. Prices vary by platform and an extra fee of 100-200 points is usually added to import titles. Some games have been modified from their original versions, with some even sporting new, Wii-specific features. New games are added on a weekly basis (on Mondays in the US).
The Virtual Console service can also add support for additional systems. The Sega Master System was recently added to the lineup of available systems. In Europe, the Commodore 64 has also been added to the current lineup. Game Gear and MSX titles are slated to be released sometime in the future. Below is a list of VC-supported platforms and their North American prices.
| Platform | Base Cost (Wii Points) |
|---|---|
| Nintendo Entertainment System | 500 |
| Sega Master System | 500 |
| TurboGrafix-16 | 600 |
| TurboGrafix-CD | 800 |
| Sega Genesis | 800 |
| Super Nintendo Entertainment System | 800 |
| Neo Geo | 900 |
| Nintendo 64 | 1000 |
WiiWare
The WiiWare section of the store offers new titles designed for the Wii. These titles are Wii games that are distributed digitally, rather than in disc form. The content, features, and price vary from game to game. Some games (such as Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King) may also feature downloadable "premium" content for an additional fee.
Wii Channels
In this section, you may download additional applications for your Wii. Applications such as the Internet, Check Mii Out, and Nintendo Channels can be found here. While most of these apps are free, the Internet Channel does cost 500 Wii Points to download.
Internet Channel
To get the Internet Channel, it must first be downloaded (for free) from the Wii Shop Channel. This channel will allow the Wii user to access the internet from their Wii and be able to see it on the television. The browser is powered by Opera and can view flash sites (version 7 only).
Also, the browser cannot play Mp3s or movies(unless it is in flash). The button acts as a left click, while scrolls.
If you have the internet upgrade, the internet channel will be 500 Wii points.
Everybody Votes Channel
Downloaded for free from the Wii Shop, the user can take a stance on polls using their Miis. Each user can register six Miis. The user then votes on active polls by dragging their Mii to one of two choices. The user can then predict what the majority of the people are going to vote via the same process. After polls close, the user can check how "in-tune" they are with the rest of their region, and even suggest new poll ideas. Wi-fi must be enabled to access this feature.
Check Mii Out Channel
This channel lets users share their Miis and place them in popularity contests. Contests are purely done for satisfaction with only 3 of the previous contests (hatless Mario, hatless Luigi, and Princess Peach) have rewards photo prizes featuring your Mii and the Mii you created for the contest, which would be posted on the Wii Message Board. The channel will also let people download their favorite Miis to have on their Mii Channel.
Nintendo Channel
Released in North America on May 7, 2008, the Nintendo Channel provides information about Nintendo and upcoming/recent releases. The main page (the video list) of the channel features a number of streaming videos ranging from trailers and commercials to interviews and demonstrations. This channel also features a DS Download Service where Nintendo will place free demos of various games to play at any point in time.
Metroid Prime 3 Preview Channel
The Metroid Prime 3 Channel was a promotional "teaser" launched to provide a sneak-peak at Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. This channel used WiiConnect24 to download videos of gameplay on the channel. This is the only channel to be considered as expired, due to Nintendo taking down all the videos, replacing them with a message stating "Metroid Prime 3 preview has expired" which prompted Wii users to delete the channel.
Mario Kart Channel
The Mario Kart Channel is a channel that is only downloadable from the Mario Kart Wii disk. This channel features an easy-access friends list where you can enter friend codes and see if any of your friends are online, an online leader board for time trials and competitions between your friends, your region, or worldwide, ghost races where users drive a ghost of a racer on any track to try beating the time limit that ghost has placed, and the option to enter Mario Kart tournaments whenever Nintendo has them active. To race ghosts, race a friend who's online, or participate in a tournament, the disk must be inserted in the Wii.
