Rumortoid: Nintendo working on a Wii movie service

Recommended Videos

While Sony and Microsoft have movie capabilities in their latest console, Nintendo’s Wii is left without. But Curt Marvis, President of Digital Media for Lionsgate, feels like that could change soon.

Marvis tells Variety that he thinks that Nintendo is working on a movie service. 

“The thing that is clearly a force in digital are the game devices,” he said.

“I think when we see the Wii come into the market with the ability to stream movies, which I think is maybe going to happen as soon as this year, I think that’s going to be a big marketplace for digital distribution.”

Is there any weight to this? I don’t know, and the Lionsgate guy would know better than I. Variety does point out that Nintendo is working on a limited service for Japan. Maybe that will cross over to our neck of the woods.

Movies on the Wii! Are you excited? Yeah, me either. And as TechRadar reminds, there’s still the whole storage thing to worry about.  Let’s get a hard drive for this. I can get somewhat excited about that.
