Nintendo president Satoru Iwata has more or less confirmed that Wii owners outside Japan will also get to experience the newly-launched Wii video streaming service.
“Wii-no-Ma service is available only in Japan at the start, but the overseas deployment is under planning in the future,” said Iwata. He also added that the service’s original Japanese programming may be included in the service’s international versions:
