I read this post on a message board and it sparked my interest in WiiConnect. If this interview is accurate, I will be very excited. However I believe this is probably false from the other posts in the thread BUT I think it would be pretty cool if WiiConnect did stuff like mentioned in the below interview. The Mario Galaxy bit sounds fishy because of the limited internal memory of the Wii, BUT the other stuff like Link wearing a Santa Hat or holiday themed events in games would be pretty fun I think and it could keep games slightly fresh.

In an NGU interview with Nintendo Studies and Development President William Nye, he confirmed some of the "many" uses in for WiiConnect24.

Note: Roughly translated from Taiwanese.

Heres an excerpt:

NGU: "Can you give [us] any specific uses of Wii Connect24?
Nye: "Do you remember in Animal Crossing how certain events would happen on holidays? Well, that was all programmed into the code of Animal Crossing. With Wii Connect24, this can be put in after programming. This allows for less cheating, as the internal clock can be easily switched, and opens up room for additions. We can use this to put a game out to the public earlier. If we had had this idea for Gamecube, you would allready be playing the new Zelda *Laughs*.

NGU: "You mentioned Zelda, will Zelda use [Wii Connect24]?
Nye: "Of course, we plan to use [Wii Connect24] for almost everyone of our main games. In fact, we are allready coding it so on Christmas day Link will wear a [santa] hat. Also, on Halloween we are planning some spooky stuff.

NGU: "Halloween? Will Wii be out by Halloween?"
Nye: "No comment."

NGU: "Great, any other uses for Wii Connect24?"
Nye: "Well, since you press, I suppose I could tell you one more thing. For Mario Galaxy we are planning great things with Wii Connect24. I predict that buying [Galaxy] a year after it comes out will land you with a game twice the size of the actual retail game! *Laughs*. Afterall, who's ever heard of a Galaxy that never expanded?"
