  • Netflix And Hulu Plus Up And Running On Wii U

    Delay Not As Long As Expected.

    Well that certainly didn’t take long.

    It was announced by Nintendo last week that many of their streaming apps would be delayed and the way it was worded one would think that you would be waiting a few weeks before you could start watching your content on Netflix or Hulu Plus.

    It seems someone got on the ball and fixed whatever problems the apps were having quickly because as of right now both services are up and ready for people to watch shows or movies on their television or Gamepad.

    No word yet on when the Nintendo TVii feature will be ready but Nintendo has said sometime in December.

  • Nintendo Delays Major Wii U Apps

    Nintendo TVii Delayed Until December.

    Everything seemed to be going so well Nintendo….what happened??

    Just a few days before the Wii U is set to launch, Nintendo has announced that their on demand services (Netflix, Hulu Plus, Amazon Instant Video and YouTube) will be delayed. They are hoping to have the services up in a few weeks. Nintendo TVii has also been delayed and will not be released until December.

    You will still need to update your system online on day one to get your e-shop, backwards compatibility and online play up and running.

    No system launch is perfect but this was a huge component of Nintendo’s selling point of the Wii U. Let’s hope they can get everything worked out quickly.

     

  • Watch The Nintendo TVii Announcement Trailer

    Changing The Way You Interact With Your Television.

    Take a look at the trailer for Nintendo TVii that was announced today during the Wii U event. It is more than simply just adding your Netflix or Hulu services to your Wii U. It makes those services as well as your live TV an interactive experience using the gamepad. To me it was the one good surprise about the show today and makes me think of the future possiblities of interactive entertainment with the controller.
