Nintendo has confirmed that its TVii service for Wii U will not be coming to Europe.
The company released the following statement explaining why gamers in the region won't be getting support for the multimedia app that has already been available in North America and Japan for a couple of years now:
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.
Seeing as how I don't know anyone who's ever made use of Nintendo TVii, I can't imagine it is all that much of a loss for folks in Europe. Have you made use of the service at all? If you're in Europe, are you disappointed you won't ever be getting it?
