Although details have been scarce, it was revealed awhile back that the Wii would be getting its very own video streaming service, and now it looks like this may branching out to DS support as well. Yum!

If the Wii and the DS are connected, it should be possible to download video through the Wii and take it with you on the DS…When the service begins, you’ll see how we’re going to do it differently in a Nintendo-like way. There are a lot of on-demand video services, so there’s no reason to do the same thing, so we’re going to do something different. We’ll start the service in Japan, and if it does well, we’d like to take it overseas. [Nintendo wants to make the Wii] something that people will turn on even if they don’t have a purpose in mind. We’re not there yet though, and there are a lot of things we have to do to achieve that.

Who knows whether this will take advantage of the shiny new DSi, or include the other DSethnicities as well. If the service works well, owners of both systems could be in for quite a treat.
