In addition, DSi owners will be able to sync the handheld to the channel and download virtual coupons, which can be redeemed at participating retailers. Weirder still, celebrities will occasionally visit the virtual home as “concierges” peddling additional programming. Partner companies will have their own content, accessed by clicking on a plant in the room, as well as product samples that can be delivered to a pre-entered real world address.
Foremost is the video channel, providing paid and ad-supported shows, as previously reported.
This is the hub for various other services offered in the channel. The channel places Mii characters in a living room, where time passes by in equal proportion to the outside world.
The full scoop, revealed on Nintendo’s Japanese Web site and conveniently translated by Andria Sang, talks of a virtual world that blends eerily with the real. Until now, details on the service were slim, other than an announced partnership between Nintendo and media giant Dentsu to produce original content. Enjoy playing that hacked Wii running emulators and homebrew on a faux component cable - remember Nintendo, the people will always get what the people want.There appears to be a world domination plot afoot with Nintendo’s “Wii no Ma” video service, which will launch next week in Japan. As for the homebrew, it's appears to be slightly less tricky, but essentially you need an SD card and SD to GameCube adapter, a GameCube Action Replay pack, and some patience while you enter in a 28 line long 474 character code. We're not saying it's easy, but it's not heart surgery, either. On the component cable side, it looks like what you need to do is follow the Wii AV pinout, re-arrange the pins on an AV cable, then rewire those to a new set of cables with RCA ends if you wire it the right way, you can even use a toggle to switch between component and composite. Looks like the Wii hacking is fully underway this weekend, with guides both on how to make your own Wii component cables (since apparently it's still super difficult for Nintendo to flood the damned market with 'em), as well as to play homebrew games.
