It’s taken a while, but YouTube has finally released a Wii (and PS3, etc) optimized interface to their site, which they call “YouTube TV“.

The new YouTube TV interface plays a similar role to sites like moowee.tv, which has been providing a slick Internet Channel Wii-optimised frontend to YouTube (and other video sites) from essentially day one.

I really like this new offering from YouTube; it feels a bit simpler and more reliable than moowee.tv, and switching to fullscreen mode is seemless. It’s quite watchable for some of the higher quality videos. I can see YouTube TV becoming my preferred option for the odd occasion when I want to veg-out on the couch and watch some stupid viral videos.

If you want to check it out without firing up your Wii, you can install the Switch User Agent Add-on for Firefox, and add the User-Agent “Opera/9.00 (Nintendo Wii; U; ; 1038-58; Wii Shop Channel/1.0; en)”. Go to YouTube TV, and you will see the Wii optimized interface in all it’s glory. For the definitive experience, check it out on your Wii.

It’s two years old, and pretty stupid, but I wonder how many people in that line wish they’d bought a Wii (or a two ) now …

Hot on the heels of the latest MadWorld trailer comes … The Conduit.

If they get online multiplayer right with this one, things are really looking up for hardcore gamers with a Wii.

This is exactly what the Wii needs … a little more stylistic ultraviolence.

What’s the bet this will be censored to buggery for release in Australia (like No More Heroes), or even worse, never released at all. I really should have bought a Japanese or US Wii and just imported everything.
