Not content with dominating the games console market with its family-orientated Wii console, Nintendo plan on launching the Wiinoma TV channel to deliver on-demand content to Wii console owners via their internet connection. With a mix of paid-for and free content including cartoons, lifestyle and educational shows, the channel should sit well with other content on the console which currently includes a news page and BBC’s iPlayer.

The channel is set to be launched in Japan this Spring with a global roll-out by the end of the year.
