The most piss poor recreation of the Wii menu and deserves 0 stars for it's absymal execution.
First of all, why do I need an account for a game that doesn't need the Newgrounds API. It doesn't need the API just so it can save your game. Games like Papa's Burgeria didn't need the API so what's the excuse?
Let's go over the inaccuracies!
-There's only ONE screen that the Wii has to go over and that's the health warning screen. That's it. No, the channel WADs don't work ANYTHING like the original or RC24 WADs.
-LOADS of inaccurate, poor attempts of replicating the classic channel animations, or just no animations. this includes the Disc channel, the Mii Channel, the Photo Channel, Wii Shop Channel, the Forecast and News Channel, the Internet channel, Check Mii Out/Mii Contest Channel, the Nintendo Channel, Everybody Votes Channel, Today & Tomorrow Channel, the Wii Speak Channel, and finally the "Damae" Channel (It's localized as the Food Channel in WiiLink.).
-The menu has HALF of the channels in a real Wii (48 channels in a real Wii, so you actually have 24.).
-The menu isn't based on ONE region. In the US, you can't get the Food Channel because it was exclusive to Japan, while the Today & Tomorrow Channel wasn't available in NA regions.
-NO CLOCK. It's replaced by this Wii logo with the trademark even though the Wii didn't have them. This even applies to the button to go to the Wii Settings.
-The Wii Settings are wrong, data management should be on the LEFT and not the right.
-The Wii Settings page has the wrong graphics and is inaccurate to the actual thing (Come on, Controls/Stuff? Not Wii System Settings 1??).
-Data Management is represented incorrectly, it should show a Wii, a Gamecube Memory Card, a SD Card, and a Wii channel.
-The functions of the Data Management is also represented horribly because it skips to the Wii Save Data screen that can flip to the Nintendo Gamecube Save Data. None of the icons are represent the actual thing correctly AND it serves as a Channel Management screen, except clicking on an icon deletes and not a prompt to move, copy, or delete a channel.
-The SD Card Menu has 20 pages and yet there's only ONE page and is replaced by the "SD Card Menu" text, instead of putting the text in where it SHOULD belong.
-The SD Card Menu's help section is inaccurate to the actual help section. In the actual thing, it has three pages, about it, save data, and a caution page. The game throws it out with useless tip pages. It doesn't even change the "next" button on the last page to be a "close" button.
-The Wii Message Board lacks the ability to send messages and also the date. Plus the message scrolling is inaccurate because the arrows help you scroll the message and is instead replaced by dragging.
-The Wii Shop Channel's recommended titles layout is wrong and inaccurate.
-The shopping layout is inaccurate AGAIN because sections from the left in the original channel are now on the right. Downloading channels are done by clicking and not by clicking on the Download/Buy option, where you wanted to download the channel, confirming what you wanted by the control screen, a description screen, and the Wii Points and open blocks screen. WiiWare is misrepresented as it's a hub where you can buy and download Wii GAMES, here it's represented as where you can download "Damae" channel. Plus there is no Account Activity, Titled You've Downloaded, and Settings and Features, and no Shopping Guide either.
-The Mii Channel... Look how they massacred my boy... The channel has been dumbed down to a dress-up game that lacks the ability to save your avatar, the layout is wrong, no ability to make female Miis, lacks 9 sections which includes the name and details of a Mii, height and weight, facial features, hair, eyebrows, eyes, nose, mouth, and misc. details like glasses, beauty spots, mustaches, and beards. Favorite doesn't work properly as it gives a Mii golden pants and not RED pants. Colors are excluded like pink and brown and doesn't represent the actual 12 colors a Mii's favorite color is. The system is watered down as to change something, you click on the section and that's it. There's only 5 skin tones, 12 eye styles, 12 noses (which is the only thing that's accurate), 17 mouths, 20 hairstyles, including ones from the 3DS and not ones within the actual channel, and that's WAY LESS than the actual combinations you can make in the actual channel. Plus there's no option to change eye color OR the hair. It doesn't even give you the option to save your Mii at all!
-The Photo Channel works NOTHING alike the original one. You can't "upload files" so you're given straight to the Fun Doodle section of the channel of ONE image. No mood section and no puzzle section. PLUS it's missing the pencils, eraser, and the stickers.
-The Forecast and News channel work NOTHING like the original. They prompt you to agree to RC24's terms which isn't even accurate if you did setup these channels on a real Wii. They just give you nothing, no globe, just the front page stuff but barely ANYTHING.
-The Internet channel has the wrong font for the logo of the channel and doesn't have the standard layout for the channel. It's missing a LOT of buttons like the Back to a page or next page, Search, Favorites, and the Opera Home button. The Wii Remote for controls is watered down to only being a graphic. No operations guide, settings, or even a Wii menu.
-The Check Mii Out/Mii Contest Channel is just barely accurate and lacks the Mii Artisan profile. None of the Miis are in proper rows like in the ACTUAL channel. Contests barely work so no point using it.
-The Nintendo Channel is not even accurate. RiiConnect24 isn't necessary to use the channel (Not originally.) because WiiConnect24 exists and Nintendo Directs was NEVER mentioned when you start-up the channel as a fresh user. It was a channel meant to share you news about Nintendo games and third-party games at the time. It's missing a lot of buttons on the actual channel, like New Arrivals, Find Titles for You, DS Download Service, Recommend Title, Everyone's Recommendations, and Records. Settings isn't accurate to the channel, the video "player" doesn't play actual video, and the "How to get Nintendo Channel" makes no goddamn sense WHEN YOU HAVE THE DAMN CHANNEL.
-The Everybody Votes Channel lacks buttons from the original, like "Register New Voter," "Voter Data," "Suggest a Question," and options. You can't even see poll results at all!
-The Today & Tomorrow Channel works NOTHING like the actual channel as clicking Miis will not reveal their profile, their Zodiac Sign, and their luck points. No details either! None of the features like Compatability, Food, Care, and Fun hints don't work because they're dumbed down to just screens with NOTHING happening.
-The Wii Speak Channel is just unusable. There's no microphone usage for the channel so it's lying to you, so there's no point of using a channel about using a microphone that's unheard of.
I can't believe this warranted a LONG review about how atrocious this game was recreated. It's almost if these were made by people who never HAD a Wii before.
