The BBC’s iPlayer streaming video / radio service has been available on the Wii in the form of a browser-based app for some time now, but it looks like it’s now set to step up its game considerably with a full-fledged iPlayer Wii channel. Launching in the UK on November 18th, the new channel boasts a streamlined, Wii-friendly interface that was apparently the result of extensive testing, and includes a number of other smaller design touches, like some nifty background animations during radio programs, and some use of the Wiimote’s rumble feature for added feedback.
