Nov 13, 2009 – The BBC and Nintendo UK today unveil a new version of the popular BBC iPlayer on Nintendo’s Wii. First made available through the console’s internet channel in April 08, BBC iPlayer will now be available as a dedicated ‘Wii Channel’ to provide Wii users with a new, richer experience of the BBC’s TV and Radio on demand catch up service. The new Wii Channel is expected to be available from 00:01 on Wednesday 18 November.

Since BBC iPlayer first launched on the Nintendo Wii, there have been 900,000 requests for TV and Radio programmes, and this new version of BBC iPlayer for Wii has been designed to deliver a better and higher quality experience, with a new full screen user interface allowing the whole family to catch up on TV and radio together in the lounge.

Wii owners have previously been able to access the BBC iPlayer through the Internet Channel. Starting next Wednesday, however, the iPlayer will be getting its own channel in the UK. It looks as though the interface has received a facelift, as there were many complaints for those who have accessed the iPlayer in the past. The system is also “faster, high quality and improved viewing experience”. This channel is a UK exclusive right now and I don’t expect that to change anytime soon.

Thanks to Dan for the news tip!
