Wii have the concerns that gamers might stay out of touch with the outside world due to too much gaming. In order to help gamers stay in touch with what’s happening in the outside world, they’ve just launched an online news service through its popular Wii console.
The Wii news channel features top news stories and photographs from The Associated Press. Consoles with a broadband Internet connection and the Opera Web browser will be able to access the free news channel, which will offer AP news in multiple languages. Japanese-language news will come from a separate agency.
The news channel is equiped with an interactive map, which gamers can easily zoon in and out of areas of the world. If you wanna focus on religional news or national news of the U.S, you just blow up the map of the U.S. No intention yet from Wii to put ads on the news channel.
