Lionsgate imagines Wii’s movie store to launch worldwide soon

July 25th, 2009 Posted in Business, Wii


Nintendo released a video-on-demand service in Japan for the Wii a while ago. Unfortunately, we haven’t heard any word for a possible international release for this service.

Lionsgate’s president of digital media, Curt Mavis, hopes to deliver their mass-media to the Wii’s broader audience, as opposed to just horror and action movies ideal for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 markets.

“I imagine the Wii’s movie store will launch worldwide soon,” said Mavis. “The essential point is that the game machine is already connected into the TV, and we see it as a major conduit inside the home to bring movies via the Internet into the television.”
