Nintendo snaps new Wii photo print service for Japan
Leo Chan - Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008 | 12:02PM (PT)


Digital Camera Print Channel launches

Nintendo has teamed up with leading photoimaging company FujiFilm to launch a new Wii channel in Japan which will allow users to order prints of digital photos through the Wii itself. More precisely, users can use the new "Digital Camera Print Channel" to access photos from digital cameras and mobile phones stored on SD card media. Once the SD card is transferred to the Wii, the channel itself will allow the user to format their photos for use in four different types of products:

  • Individual photo prints measuring 89 x 127 mm for 30 yen ($0.28 USD) each.
  • A 20-page "square" booklet for 1575 yen ($14.80 USD); users can provide captions for their photos.
  • A larger, 6-page "standard" booklet for 2480 yen ($23.30 USD), featuring 11 page design templates including some Mario-themed ones.
  • A set of 30 business cards measuring 91 x 55 mm for 500 yen ($4.70 USD), again from a selection of templates. You can even use your Mii avatar as the business card photo if you're in the mood.

Once the desired photos are selected and organized through the templates, the user places their order with FujiFilm who will handle the development and delivery of the product. Payments will be made to FujiFilm through credit card; Wii Points are not supported at the moment. There's no word yet over whether or not Nintendo will offer a similiar service via Wii Channel outside of Japan, but recent firmware updates for North American Wii consoles suggest localization being a possibility.
