Netflix Goes All In With Marvel On Four TV Series Including Daredevil
Marvel and Netflix have agreed to a huge deal that will see the creation of four new TV series which will all lead into a team-up miniseries. Daredevil, Iron Fist, Jessica Jones and Luke Cage will all get their own series with at least 13 episodes and once those are done all four characters will star in a miniseries called The Defenders which will see them teaming up.
Daredevil will get his series first in 2015 with the other characters to follow. For Daredevil fans this has to be exciting news especially for our own Daredevil expert, Trey Sterling. I think that Daredevil’s fight to keep Hell’s Kitchen safe works better as a gritty series instead of a movie. Also, how fucking cool is it that we live in a world where we can actually have an Iron Fist TV series?!
Alan Fine, president of Marvel Entertainment had this to say:
“This deal is unparalleled in its scope and size, and reinforces our commitment to deliver Marvel’s brand, content and characters across all platforms of storytelling. Netflix offers an incredible platform for the kind of rich storytelling that is Marvel’s specialty. This serialized epic expands the narrative possibilities of on-demand television and gives fans the flexibility to immerse themselves how and when they want in what’s sure to be a thrilling and engaging adventure.”
Netflix has done some great things lately with their original programming including House of Cards and bringing back Arrested Development. This deal with Marvel is on a whole different level. It shows both Marvel and Netflix’s desire to branch out into unknown territory. Let’s hope they do the characters justice.

Seal the Deal – Arrested Development Season 4 Launch
I have to physically restrain myself from filling this article with inside gags, but I think I will manage; doing otherwise might alienate a few readers, and that would be a huge mistake.
See what I did there?
If not, then I have some great news for you: Arrested Development has a whole new season to enjoy thanks to Netflix! Except, wait, if you didn’t get the joke, it means you haven’t seen the first three seasons…
Let me start over, since I may have just blown my wad on what was supposed to be a dry run, and now this whole article is a bit of a mess on my hands.
After a completely foreseeable cancellation that still caught everyone by surprise, A.D. is back for another fifteen episodes exclusive to the aforementioned streaming video service. The episodes went up yesterday, and I have already finished my initial viewing; after all, I have to give you good people a review by the end of the week. If you’re a fan of the show, you really shouldn’t be reading this anyway; you should be watching them. Go watch them.
If you aren’t a fan of the show, I have great news for you as well: The entire series was just re-released on DVD with new packaging and is currently [amazon_link id=”B00CE4L28E” target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]Amazon’s TV Deal of the Week at just $25.[/amazon_link]
Of course, you could just use a fake e-mail address to sign up for a one-month free trial of Netflix, which has all three original seasons as well as the new episodes… But you really expect the guy with the $25 deal to not tel you about it? C’mon!

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.
