Nintendo is preparing to launch a new channel for their home console called the “Wiinoma Channel”.

Wiinoma is the much awaited video channel for the Wii and will feature “family oriented content” like cartoons, quizzes and educational programming, exclusive for the Wii.

Most of the content will be free to download (with ads, mind), though some programmes will cost a few Wii points.

The channel will be launched in Japan this spring, while the rest of us will have to wait until the end of the year.
