Who Said a Wii was Just for Gaming?

For you hardcore gamers out there who are also news junkies (I'm sure there's a couple), you'll soon be able to get AP News on your Nintendo Wii. According to MSNBC.com:

Rabid video gamers could get some help keeping in touch with the outside world this weekend as Nintendo Co. launches an online news service through its popular Wii console.

The Wii News Channel, scheduled to debut Saturday, will primarily feature top news stories and photographs from The Associated Press.

Consoles with a broadband Internet connection and the Opera Web browser will be able to access the free news channel, which will offer AP news in multiple languages. Japanese-language news will come from a separate agency.

Now Gamers will be able to keep up with the headlines about how many people got bonked in the head by a Wii controller.
