Video on demand coming to DS?
A video-on-demand service was announced recently for the Nintendo Wii. It turns out, however, that this same service could be making its way onto the Nintendo DS.
Speaking to the Wallstreet Journal, president and CEO of Nintendo Satoru Iwata said that “If the Wii and the DS are connected, it should be possible to download video through the Wii and take it with you on the DS.”
The DS and Wii can already communicate in numerous ways, such as demo downloads and simultaenous game interaction.
“When the service begins, you’ll see how we’re going to do it differently in a Nintendo-like way,” he adds. “There are a lot of on-demand video services, so there’s no reason to do the same thing, so we’re going to do something different. We’ll start the service in Japan, and if it does well, we’d like to take it overseas.”
