Wii U Rumors: eBook. magazines and iOS content coming to Wii U

[Pavolink]

Well, new year, new Wii U rumors:

 

"Nintendo is planning to launch a digital e-reader type service where you can download books, magazines, newspapers, comics, and other publications to your Wii U console. These publications would stream to your Wii U controller’s touchscreen, and you could go lay in your bed or couch and read them. The touch screen would be used to flip through pages of an e-book or magazine, and there would even be a searchable index."

"Nintendo has also talked about possibly making electronic versions of their official strategy guides which were called “Players Guides” available for download for virtual console games."

"Also, Nintendo is looking into having electronic instruction booklets made available for virtual console games that you download.  These would be electronic versions of the instruction booklets that would be packaged into older SNES or N64 games, and you could flip through them on your Wii U controller."

"Another interesting part of this story is that Nintendo is interested in making every single issue of Nintendo Power (from 1988 to currently) available for download to be read on the Wii U’s touchscreen controller."
