DVD playback coming to Wii
[W𓂃ii] Nintendo to release enhanced console in 2007
Tuesday 14 November 2006
Nintendo will launch an enhanced version of its ♑Wii console next year which will add a DVD playback facility to the console's features list.
The updated hardware will ღuse a software upgrade provided by Sonic Solutions, a leading digital media software developer, and is planned to appear in the US during the second half of 2007.
The software package offers the♐ same level of D🍒VD picture quality as you get from a standard player and supports all standard video and audio formats as well as supporting anamorphic widescreen.
At the time of writing Nintendo was unavailable for ജcomment on the possibilities of a UK r🐻elease, or of the software upgrade becoming available as a standalone update for those who buy an early, non-DVD playback Wii. We'll update you with the official word as soon as we can.
