 During a Q&A session at the company's Tokyo financial briefing last week, Satoru Iwata revealed some plans the company has for the Wii no Ma channel, which has made its way into 930,000 households and has been used by 2.48 million people.Iwata revealed that the channel will be updated to allow paid video downloads before the end of the year. The video content at the service is free of charge currently, but even prior to release Nintendo did say that paid content would be a part of the Channel's future. He didn't mention what kind of paid content will be offered, but stated that Nintendo will be working to take the service to the next step. He believes that pushing the service could get more people using the Wii, including those who might not normally play games in the home. Latest Comments

Stephen Weber November 05, 2009, 02:14 PM I love how the Wii firmware keeps getting updated so there's a backend to support all the currently Japan only channels but the US never sees a port for them. There's been support for ordering prints from the Photo Channel for over a year now that's never been launched in the US.
