Wii food order service

Wii food order service

A new service has been revealed by Nintendo where Japanese gamers can order takeaway food through their Wii console. Big N has teamed up with Demae-Can, which offers a variety of meals including:

  • Pizza
  • Sushi
  • Curry

Orders are said to arrive within around 30 minutes. For the indecisive, an on-screen roulette wheel can also be used to select meals at random. It launches in Spring 2009, but there are no indications this kind of thing will come to the US.

This is like the Web-van service, it's completely bound to fail.

That's what a phone is for, and your feet.

Pssh! Going to be a hard time deciding which restaurants (from Chinese to Pizza Huts, McDonalds to Long John's) are going to support this. And connect some kind of game to it. We don't want to be waiting and doing nothing!

Parents are going to be like "WTF I didn't order any pizza?".

If I can somehow get sushi in my small town in 30 minutes then this is great.

Great. Another bonus Japanese audiences get that we will never ever see. I might as well pack my bags now and study up my nihongo.

Whoever says this will fail obviously forgets that this is Japan. I lived in Korea, I doubt Japan will be any different in this respect, but trust me, these kind of services easily thrive there. The car-ordering services in US are bound to fail because everywhere is so far apart.

I doubt this will have a lot of success, but if it does have success and it ends up being available in the US I'm definitely ordering Sushi (my parents never get Sushi).

Is this an add-on to Wii fit?
