Was the Wii's X-mas surprise the Internet Channel?

I saw some hoodad on here about several VC titles coming in for free. I checked a few weeks ago, and the mentioned titles were all for pay.

So what gives? I'm curious and searching has yielded nothing.

The Christmas surprise was the spectacular assortment of games for Christmas day. There was never any mention of free titles, outside of idiots who ridiculously hope for impossible things.

Nintendo: "Merry Christmas!"

You: "Oh boy, oh boy -- what do I get?"

Nintendo: "You get to give us five dollars!"

Nintendo hates its fans. I dont think enough people realize this yet. :lol

It was the free Mario Galaxy demo that you could only get if you logged on to the Wii Shop the exact second when Christmas began.

Finally bought a new PSP, but then pushed the demon onto someone else. Jesus.
F*ck the Wii! I mean I love mine and all that, but I can't get connected to the Internet. I connected once yesterday, it started DL'ing the update (really slowly)... I get an error 10 minutes in. Have not been able to connect to the Internet ever since.

Sorry, I guess Im just still miffed about the horrible high prices on the VC compared to the PSN or even XBLA.

Did you try changing the channel on the wireless router to 2?

I thought it was 1 or 11. I was getting all types of errors before I switched the channel. It was probably our phones (vonage) causing all the interference.

Christmas present was just another Nintendo quote that fueled the creativity of Nintendo "enthusiasts" to unforeseen heights, not unlike the Dutch lads here:

It still amazes me just how HIDEOS those two are, and don't get me wrong, I like AICN.

11 was my next suggestion. :)
