Nintendo TVii Launching Tomorrow In North America!
Though it doesn’t sound like it will be fully functioning, North America will be getting a taste of Nintendo’s TVii service TOMORROW!
Announced back in January, TVii intends to make the WiiU not just a game system, but the entertainment hub of your living room. Rather than having to search through cable, PVR, and Subscription options for your favourite movies and shows, TVii looks to use a beautiful interface to amalgamate everything into one! Check out the trailer below and see what it’s all about!
According to today’s press release, tomorrow the service will support cable and satellite providers, as well as Amazon Instant and Hulu plus. Netflix and TiVo integration are set to come in early 2013.
The TVii experience looks pretty phenomenal, and at no extra monthly cost I could definitely see the WiiU becoming the media centre of choice for many people. Remember when you bought a PS3 and justified the fact that even if you didn’t play it, you had one of the best Blu-Ray players around? This is the same thing!
Too bad I live in Canada, where we have neither Amazon Instant or Hulu. I’m still looking forward to checking it out!
