    On Demand Film, Anime and Vidoes For Japanese Wii

    Fugi Soft have announced plans to provide Japan with a huge range of video content available on-demand via the Wii.

    The company website published details on the new service earlier, noting that Everyone's Theater will be a downloadable application as part of the WiiWare section in Nintendo's store, costing 500 points.

    Wii owners will then be able to purchase and stream a heap of content, from Box Office films to pre-school, children's entertainment, popular anime to adult material – though also coming at a price per viewing and quality – 100 to 400 points. Everyone's Theater will also pop out higher quality streams for those with HD/larger screens for a crisper image.

    Versions for other countries are likely, but it would depend on Nintendo finding a suitable service partner in each region. Currently the BBC in the UK is developing a way of playing on-demand content on the system by means of a channel, with a Wii-optimised version already available using the Opera / the Internet Channel.

    Thanks to A-N for the tip.

    Sounds cool. It would be great if something like this came to the US. (A Netflix channel perhaps?).

    If it ever comes to the West (which it won't) it'll be the same but without the Anime.

    'Cos Anime is more babyish than pre-school stuff. 4Kids prove it.

    Id be happy if they just subbed the japan version of the stuff :p

    Give me a nice mix of serious (Denno Coil) and silly (Lupin 3rd) anime and I'm happy.

    And as for movies, Studio Ghilbi FTW.

    wtf I don't see why we should have to pay for the channel itself...can't that be for free so I can go and browse to see if there's anything I want to DL? Smilie
    Most games are a waste of time.

    Indeed. There needs to be some kind of reasonable yearly rate, not an expensive per video fee.

    As Simon said, its also a bit stupid of them to charge for you to get the channel to even browse the content they have. Let alone actually watch anything.
