Hulu Plus Is Now On Wii

A press release from Nintendo of America is stating that Hulu Plus is now available on your Wii. Starting today, Wii owners can subscribe to Hulu Plus for $7.99 a month to stream current TV shows directly to your television.

For the first month of launch, users who download Hulu Plus for Wii and do not already have an account will be able to test out a two week free trial. The Wii already has Netflix available for those who want to watch movies and certain television series. Hulu Plus has current episodes though, and you can watch Family Guy, Glee, The Office, and a couple other shows.

“Wii offers the most entertainment fun for everyone in the family, with an impressive selection of streaming movies and TV shows in addition to an unparalleled lineup of games that can’t be played anywhere else. The Wii console is the hub of the living room, and with the addition of Hulu Plus, millions of households now have even more options for streaming premium TV shows and movies.”

– Tony Elison, Nintendo of America’s senior director and general manager of Network Business.

“We want to be everywhere, on every screen where people want to watch their favorite shows and discover new ones on their own schedule. Wii is not only one of the most important entertainment devices in the living room, but one of the most heavily anticipated and requested platforms by users and subscribers. Teaming up with Nintendo gives millions of households across the U.S. an immediate way to access some of their favorite current season shows on-demand in their living room through Hulu Plus.”
