Does anybody watch Defying Gravity at all?
Does anybody actually play video games any more? Well, aside from the obvious. Because now Wii owners have the opportunity to stop playing games and watch telly more conveniently.
The BBC iPlayer - which was available 'in-browser' via the Internet Channel - is now getting its own Wii Channel. It is "expected to be available from 00:01 on Wednesday 18th November."
David Yarnton, General Manager, Nintendo UK, says, "Our partnership with the BBC is another way in which Nintendo is looking to broaden the market for its products by offering compelling and relevant content to families. BBC iPlayer offers Wii owners another reason to turn their console on everyday and adds to the already established non-gaming content on Wii that includes Wii Channels for news, weather forecasts and an internet browser."
Some competition for Xbox 360's 'reinvention of entertainment' which is apparently beating the hell out of the PS3 then?
Here's how to use it: "download the BBC iPlayer Wii Channel from the menu screen of Wii Shop Channel. Once downloaded, users simply click on the BBC iPlayer icon to launch the new full screen service, then select and play their favourite BBC TV or radio programme that they want to watch."
