Blue Liight Special: Digicam Print Channel +Update

By Joel Luther. Wednesday, 23. July 2008, 19:02:06

, , , , , , , , ,

I'm moving to Japan.

Earlier today, Nintendo of Japan launched the "Digicam Print Channel" for Japanese Wii owners, which allows users to order prints of photos from their SD card for 30 yen each. Users can also order Wii-themed photo albums for 1,575 yen, and special Mario-themed photo albums for 2,480 yen.

Sure, all that's cool, but users can also now order business cards emblazoned with their Miis and system friend codes.

Will the Digicam Print Channel make its way to other countries? The Japanese press release seems to mention a worldwide relesae in the future. American Wiis received an update this morning, but no one knows what functionality it adds...

UPDATE:

Nintendo has sent word that the update for American Wiis added "behind-the-scenes support for a new service that has been released only in Japan." I'd say it's coming soon!

Meh, chances are it'll be sold out of photo albums after an hour of release.

you're probably right.

demand > supply.

This will probably not make it to america. Just like club Nintendo, it's more of the nifty Nintendo merchandise average americans are excluded from. Of course I use club Nintendo anyway. Hee hee hee. I just downloaded this channel by the way. None of the stuff on the channel is much different than the stuff you can order with your photo prints here in America. Mii business cards are cool though! Maybe I'll make my own... What IS completely unfair is the NUMBER of Wii channels not available in America! And since I am not in Japan most of them don't really do me any good. =( I have no friends to network with! ;v; *sobbing penguin*
