Japan: Order pizza with your Wii in the Catering Channel photo

With the Demae Channel (Catering Channel), your Wii Remote becomes a food remote control!


The new Japanese Wii channel lets you click to order food. Move your little "1 hand" cursor over categories like pizza, noodles, sandwiches, curry, burgers, chicken and just about anything else you can imagine. There's online visual menus that let you do things like select toppings and save orders. There's even online receipts for record keeping. Sadly, you'll have to get off your ass to answer the door and pay for your food with this Demae Channel.

This Wii service is operated by the same firm that operates this Japanese food delivery website, so you're probably just getting a front end for the site. Regardless, being able to order some Pizza-La from your television is pretty cool. Take it from me: you want the Bomber Quarter, which contains terriyaki chicken, potatoes, shoulder bacon, pork & pepper, fresh seafood, and cherry tomatoes.

Just like this fine pie, I wouldn't expect this delivery service to hit the U.S. anytime soon.

That's cool, but if it doesn't accept vouchers there's no point! Also that Bomber Quarter sounds delish!

Wow, Japan. Way to be behind the curve.

Back when I played Everquest, I took all my meals intravenously.

You don't even have to get up to answer the door.

Japanese pizza = underwhelming to the Pizza we have here in the US.

I did like the whole cheezy bites crust pizza that Pizza Hut offers over there, but the hot dogs on pizza concept is just wrong.

Didn't Everquest do something similar with pizzahut?

Pizza, via a Wii? I'd totally go out and buy one, you know, if I didn't already have a phone

THIS is why the Wii is winning the console war, people. Even the New Xbox Live Experience (tm) couldn't pull of the majesty that is ordering pizza through my game console.
