Topic: Nintendo TVii Impressions

I think the sports stuff would have been novel 5 years ago.  Now their is so much second screen stuff that does the same that its sort of neat but that's about it.  Not to mention it seems to have a touch only interface.  You have all those buttons and joysticks lets use them for at least scrolling.

What I'm afraid of is that in Europe the TVii feature will be even less useful.
We don't have cable here, so what is Nintendo going to do? Interface with satellite decoders for SAT channels? And those online video streaming services? Different countries have different languages, Amazon instant video, for example, has only a few Italian movies, all from the '60s. Nextflix is only available in the UK. There's no Hulu here neither. I don't have high expectations for this feature here where I live...

Well, Nintendo has said only select regions of Europe will get the service, so it shouldn't be too hard to tailor it to each country and their services (like I wouldn't be surprised if the UK gets the BBC iPlayer integrated into Nintendo TVii).
