It still amazes me how many Japan-specific channels they're making.
I think devs should look at the concept of releasing channels for WiiWare that aren't games (unless Nintendo won't allow them to).
Meh. I doubt most people would use the Wii TV channel more than the ones they regularly watch now.
One more thing the Japanese get that will never see the light of day over here. Licensing fees in the U.S. . . . well, they explain Wii Music. 😉
TV is much different over in Japan compared to over here. We'll never see this, it won't have an effect on our market, but it just goes to show how much less love we get compared to the home land of Nintendo.
Not even interested in it though, I mean really, what is even on TV?
I don't see why this wouldn't work in the U.S. It's not a real broadcast in the sense that TV signals are broadcast (or cablecast in most cases here in the U.S.). It's streaming video content. From the back-end, there's not much going on that isn't happening now. The only difference (from what little the article mentions) is that the content will probably be scheduled and paid for via advertisements. In these respects, it would be like a TV channel. Maybe Infendo can get a timeslot on the new channel 🙂
