Everybody Votes Channel
Developer: Nintendo Publisher: Nintendo Platform: Wii Released internationally: February 13, 2007 This game has hidden development-related text. This game has unused graphics. This game has unused text.

This game is defunct. Do note the game no longer works at all without modifications. This is most likely due to the game's servers being shut down (as of June 28, 2013). As a result, further official developments with the game are unlikely to happen.

The Everybody Votes Channel let you answer polls and see what the rest of the world had to say.

This channel was discontinued on June 28, 2013. However, it is possible to restore functionality by installing WiiLink.

Unused Graphics

sk_EFaceNull.tpl is a dummy texture, with the word 似顔絵 (portrait) written on it. This image was most likely a placeholder/fallback for the faces of Mii avatars, judging by the filename and 似顔絵 being the internal project name of the Mii Channel.

Used	Unused

On the Everybody Votes Channel servers, there are files that are downloaded to display results on a map. Interestingly, they can be viewed as graphics in a hex editor, kind of like ASCII art. There's a map of the United States that's unused which resembles the country in the shape of a peacock.

Unused Text

There is an unused string in the channel's text, which can be found in the Screen folder. It appears to be an older, less verbose version of the explanation regarding sending poll suggestions to Nintendo. Interestingly, the German and Italian versions of the text feature what are likely older translations of the channel's name, Alle-stimmen-ab-Kanal and Canale Quick Q (literally translating to "Everybody Votes Channel" and "Quick Q Channel"), as opposed to the final names, which are Meinungskanal and Canale Vota Anche Tu ("Opinion Channel" and "Vote Too(,) Yourself Channel"), respectively.
