I don’t even have cable in my room haha. I really don’t watch TV at all

I think this is perhaps the most overlooked aspect of the Wii U. This is the sort of stuff that appeals to a very wide audience because it changes the whole status of the console. I for one already have everything running through my PC so it defeats the purpose, however I’m extremely niche. For everyone else this helps them bring all their services together in a very simple-to-use interface and adds to it by actually being useful. The sports app itself looks great. No longer will I have to worry about missing some big plays, when I can simply see what happened a few minutes earlier. if I’m running a little late.

What would make this even better is if you could use an external HDD as your own PVR for game recording. I know the cable companies would never allow you to record digital TV, but there are ways around that. Think though, imagine if you could capture your own video feeds of games and then upload those directly to YouTube. How awesome would that be? Steam is almost there so Nintendo would have to hurry in order to be the first, but damn I would love that. Ever since I built this new PC I’ve been using Steam like a mofo and I LOVE being able to capture images by simply pressing F12. I mean, what’s not to love about that? I have TONS from my play-through of Portal 2 and Crysis. This is what I plan to use for my Borderlands 2 review as well because you can see actual 1080p images taken directly from the game.

Ok that’s enough, that was a mouthful lol.

I could see other members of my family enjoying Nintendo TVii a lot.
