Yep, the title above is correct. Nintendo has announced the release of a strange channel that will be available for download in Japan. Nintendo, partnering with Yume no Machi, will release a channel allowing Japanese Wii owners to order food directly from the Wii. The Demae (Food Delivery) Channel allows the user to select from 8,500 restaurants. The restaurants can be organized by genre including include pizza, bento, Chinese, sushi, and curry. When an order is placed, the restaurant receives a fax placed by the Wii user and eventually arrives to the customer. The Food Delivery Channel not only provides an estimated time delivery, but also keeps track of every order you make. Sounds like the perfect hotel service, doesn’t it?

The Food Delivery Channel will launch in Japan next year, though it’s highly doubtful that it will release in any other territory.
