Wii U getting Nico Nico app in Japan
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
It looks like tonight’s Nintendo Direct mini was created for one primary reason. Satoru Iwata hosted a live presentation to announce and show off a new Nico Nico app for Japanese Wii U systems.
The app will work on any television once connected to the service. Wii U owners can search for videos on the GamePad and then watch the content on the TV – and yes, HD is supported. Rankings are supported, as are a favorites list and playlists.
Japan will be receiving the Nico Nico app on December 8, when the Wii U launches in Japan. It will be available as a free download.

This news will likely come as a relief to 8GB Wii U owners, as they’ll never have to be concerned about not having their progress around at all times.

ZombiU and Assassin’s Creed III are both experiencing issues on the European eShop. The games’ 18-rated classification could very well be the culprit.
When attempting to purchase either title, a message displays:

The times during which this content can be viewed have been restricted.
There’s no word yet as to when the issue with be addressed. Soon, hopefully.
