After a slight delay Nintendo has their TVii feature up and running on the Wii U. All you will have to do is turn on your system and download a new update for the system, answer a few questions about your cable provider and you all set to go. TVii also connects to your Hulu Plus and Amazon Instant accounts.
The best part of all is that Nintendo TVii is completely free.
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.
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.
