According to
Cubed3, Nintendo has approved plans for the
BBC to release a dedicated iPlayer Channel for the UK market. Sources tell the British tech site that the BBC plans to launch the Wii Channel in Q2 2009, and that the service will be comparable in quality to the current mobile
iPlayer services. Improvements are allegedly planned for a future version.
In October, the
official BBC blog revealed it had optimized the iPlayer for the Nintendo Wii after previously mentioning the possibility of a
dedicated channel for the service.
Cubed3 also reports that the broadcasting channel is looking to expand into video game development, but no franchises were mentioned. Can anyone say
Bargain Hunt: The Game?
