Oh cool. Maybe some good Japanese imported movies/ shows for a decent price? They could also put up cheap game play videos for games?



The what channel?



Finally! But I wonder how well it would work here?

saweet!



VERY awesome if this channel is coming here. Looks like Nintendo is going to begin their strategy of sinking in their hooks to the new casual/expanded audience with services. Netflix/Wii no ma/more emphasis on online, etc.



I wonder what NA stations will use Wii no Ma. I can't see any Japanese TV station looking to get local broadcasting allowences.



Squilliam: On Vgcharts its a commonly accepted practice to twist the bounds of plausibility in order to support your argument or agenda so I think its pretty cool that this gives me the precedent to say whatever I damn well please.

I wonder how it will be supported in Canada? I smell WhiteSpot support but not really sure how it will work. I would really love to see this channel hit Canada and America for that matter. Hopefully this means its on the way
