Japan’s largest advertising agency, Dentsu, is teaming up with Nintendo to offer a video distribution service on the Wii console.
Although the two companies haven’t yet worked out the specifics, it seems as if light entertainment and cartoons are under consideration. Some of the content will be available for free. Though this service will initially be available only in Japan early in the new year, it will significantly add to Nintendo’s revenue as it hits 34 million Wiis with a global launch late in 2009.
