De laatste keer dat we berichten over Nintendo TVii, in relatie tot de Europese markt, was dat de service in 2013 moest verschijnen. Het moge duidelijk zijn dat dit niet lukte, sterker nog, de gehele service zal in zijn geheel niet langer bij ons verschijnen.
Als reden voor de annulering noemt Nintendo of Europe de problemen rondom het lokaliseren van televisiediensten. Anders gezegd: er zijn teveel landen met teveel verschillende licenties. Hieronder hun volledige statement:
quote:
"At Nintendo of Europe, we continue to challenge ourselves to develop a range of entertaining experiences for all to enjoy. Due to the extremely complex nature of localising multiple television services across a diverse range of countries with varied licensing systems, regrettably we have taken the decision not to launch the Nintendo TVii service within the European region. Although on this occasion we did not anticipate such challenges, we will always strive to develop a range of entertaining experiences for all our users to enjoy.
With this in mind, Nintendo of Europe has launched the Nintendo Anime Channel, a new video-on-demand service on Nintendo 3DS which offers users the chance to stream anime series from the likes of Pokémon, Kirby, and Inazuma Eleven. New content will be added regularly and access to this service is granted simply by downloading a free application from Nintendo eShop."
