Nintendo's confirmed that its Wii no Ma video download service will launch on May 1 in Japan.
The ad-based service, which is a joint venture from Nintendo and media company Dentsu, will be a free download from the Wii Shopping Channel when it goes live.
It will appear in the style of a virtual living room and let you register up to eight Miis for the service.
The programming on offer hasn't been detailed yet, but there'll also be a "space for partner companies" featuring promotional videos for products, reports Andriasang, and users will be able to have product samples sent to their homes.
One of the best features of the new service could turn out to be DSi link-up. After downloading the Anywhere Wii no Ma app from the DSi Shop users will be able to download programming to their portable for viewing on the go.
