That's exactly what I wanted to hear. Nice.

Hopefully our other Japanese brethren will have their experiences as well.

Also, what's the cost for the service?

500 Wii points for the Minna no Theater Wii app, and then a small menu of pricing options based on the number of videos/days for rental. For example, 300 Wii points gets you 1 video for 2 days (unlimited viewing), 600 Wii points gets you 2 videos for 3 days (unlimited viewing), and 800 Wii points gets you 3 videos for 5 days (unlimited viewing).

wow thats good pricing cause 3 dollars is not much....but i heard the channel itself is free

The news that Nintendo is working on a video service for the Wii was pretty big news. It's not something I ever thought Nintendo would do. While they are jumping on the idea a bit later than Microsoft and Nintendo, they are putting their own unique touch on the video service. We've already given you the major details about Wii no Ma Channel, but here are some other aspects you might be interested in hearing.

- service will offer free and paid content
- free content is ad-supported
- the channel itself is free
- paid content may not hit Japan until Summer.

and also here some more movies that have been added

We've already told you about the deal between Warner Bros. and Fujisoft for the Everyone's Theater Wii service, but now we had a peek at a few more movies that are jumping onto the Wii, thanks to the deal.

- Batman Begins, Contact, Last Samurai, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Goonies, Free Willy, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and more

The most interesting thing is, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button hits the Everyone's Theater Wii service the same day it hits rental and retail outlets in Japan. Hopefully Japanese Wii owners can see more releases that mirror the real-life street date!

So I am thinking you haven't checked your Wii No Ma Channel recently but thanks for sharing your thoughts....
