Just as two WiiWare manga services will be on the way in Japan, it seems that two video streaming services will be competing for the Wii audience's yen as well. The latest service to be announced, though, will have two distinct advantages:
1. Original content, and
2. Nintendo.
The new video service, created in conjunction with ad agency Dentsu, will launch early next year in Japan, with cartoons and other original programming. Some downloads will require payment, while others will be free, though supported by advertising. The service will launch overseas at an unspecified later date. Wait, overseas? But that's where we live! Wow, what a delightful surprise! Looks like Colin Dixon totally nailed that prediction.
