Nintendo TVii officieel geannuleerd

De Japanse uitgever Nintendo heeft zojuist aangegeven op hun website dat Nintendo TVii niet meer in Europa zal verschijnen.

At Nintendo of Europe, we continue to challenge ourselves to develop a range of entertaining experiences for all to enjoy. Due to the extremely complex nature of localising multiple television services across a diverse range of countries with varied licensing systems, regrettably we have taken the decision not to launch the Nintendo TVii service within the European region. Although on this occasion we did not anticipate such challenges, we will always strive to develop a range of entertaining experiences for all our users to enjoy.

With this in mind, Nintendo of Europe has launched the Nintendo Anime Channel, a new video-on-demand service on Nintendo 3DS which offers users the chance to stream anime series from the likes of Pokémon, Kirby, and Inazuma Eleven. New content will be added regularly and access to this service is granted simply by downloading a free application from Nintendo eShop.

Nintendo TVii was een service van Nintendo die gebruikers instaat stelt televisie, sport en films op de console te kijken. Nintendo laat weten dat het komt vanwege het lokaliseren van televisiediensten. Er zijn teveel landen met verschillende licenties. In Amerika is deze dienst al een aantal jaar geleden uitgerold.
