New Wii video channel launches in Japan
News - New channel is go
Following in the footsteps of the Xbox 360 and the PS3, the Wii console now has its own dedicated video download service - which is so far only available in Japan.
The new channel uses Wii Points, as with other downloadable offerings, and is based on a 'rental' service presently (nothing is for keeps).
Called 'Theatre no Ma' (roughly 'Wii Space') in Japan, the channel includes a predictable raft of Pokemon content in addition to goodies from Disney and Warner.
There has been talk of US video-on-demand service Netflix heading to the Wii, as it has the PS3, but we've no word on this just yet - just persistent rumours. More Wii video news as we get it.
