News \ A New Wii Channel, Print Photos From The Wii

Nintendo of Japan have released the following Press Release:
www.nintendo.co.jp/

It talks about a new channel that was released today in Japan. The channel is a new Wii channel that will allow Wii owners to print digital photos from the Wii. But how is this possible, well Nintendo have teamed up with Fujifilm and in doing so Japan Wii users can now order prints of digital camera photos through the Wii for 30yen (28 cents).

Nintendo are releasing special Wii Photo Books for 1,575yen ($14.71) or special edition Mario Themed Wii Photo Books for 2,480yen ($23.16).

Business Cards will also be able to be made for 500yen which will get you 30 cards but you can also have your Mii placed on them.

Here is More On It:

Matteh said: Wait....WHAT?! The wii has a built in printer?!?!
So wait let me see if I have this correct...you make the image on the wii channel, then pay for it, and it comes in the mail? Or it gets send to an email address that you supply and then you print it out? It would be good thing to have IMO, but not so good if I cant work it out
=D

I think you pay for it & Fujifilm will print up the photo/business card or whole album and they send it to you

Oh thats pretty cool then. Do you think it will ever come to Australia?
=D

highly unlikely, but if you got a Jap wii in Australia you should get them to send you photos from Japan

Lol yer and they can pay for the postage!

boxhunter said: Mii Cards!
That would be so cool

wiidude007 said: Omg how many wii channels are they getting? we are so behind

True.
This should force them into creating an external hard drive solution.

Oh I was unaware that they saved it to the memory? Or do you mean just he channels space?

They need to make some more room! GAH had to delete a few of my VC's n WW's n other channel
