Nintendo rolling out Wii TV channel this Spring in Japan |
Ó
Sony and Microsoft are now offering a lot of online entertainment options for their customers, and Nintendo's not about to let itself get left eating dust.According to Times Online, Nintendo will likely be debuting their own Wii video service in Japan this Spring. A global rollout is also expected later on in the year.
The Wii video service, known as "Wiinoma" in Japan, has been described as "a family-oriented blizzard of cartoons, “brain-training” quizzes, cookery, educational and other lifestyle shows". All of the shows on Wiinoma will be original content exclusively produced for Nintendo, so don't expect anything R-rated.
Nintendo's programming slate doesn't seem to appeal too much to the more-than-typical gamer mindset (except for the cooking shows, which I will watch with unjustifiable glee), but Japanese TV execs are reportedly shaking in their boots right now. A senior exec at Fuji TV said that if the Wii does end up becoming "the centerpiece of the living room”, Nintendo's ambitions will be “the stuff of television producers' nightmares”.
