Nintendo president Satoru Iwata has elaborated on the group’s proposed on-demand video service for the Wii.
Little is known of Nintendo’s upcoming feature, yet Iwata elaborated that the “advertising-based” service has the potential to work on the DS as well as the Wii.
“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,” Iwata told the Wall Street Journal [sub].
Iwata also added that, as there’s already a number of on-demand video services, Nintendo will be addressing the feature differently “in a Nintendo-like way.”
The Nintendo company president confirmed that if the service does well in Japan, he would like to push it westward.
