Nintendo Kills TVii in Europe, Launches Anime Channel

A while ago Nintendo launched TVii on the Wii U, allowing you to control your set-top box from your Wii U controller.

Well, Nintendo of Europe have officially killed the project in Europe, given the fact there are so many countries and so many television services in each. Here's their statement:

At Nintendo of Europe, we continue to challenge ourselves to develop a range of entertaining experiences for all to enjoy. Due to the extremely complex nature of localising multiple television services across a diverse range of countries with varied licensing systems, regrettably we have taken the decision not to launch the Nintendo TVii service within the European region. Although on this occasion we did not anticipate such challenges, we will always strive to develop a range of entertaining experiences for all our users to enjoy.

Instead, as of 13th February, they have launched the Anime Channel on the 3DS!

Currently you can watch season 1 of Kirby and Inazuma Eleven, as well as Pokémon: Advanced.

Of course, there will be more to come - no doubt we'll tell you when it's here.
