According to the Nikkei Business Daily, Nintendo will team up with ad agency Dentsu Inc to launch a video distribution service on the Wii console, in a move to establish a new revenue stream.

The are planning to offer cartoons and other shows created to make it ‘unique’ from other online providers. Nintendo and Dentsu will start the new service early next year in Japan, followed by overseas launches later in the year.

This is a pretty cool idea… I’m curious to see if they will ever get it to North America.
