Out next month in US, Nintendo TVii coming to European Wii U sometime in 2013

Nintendo's TV guide due for "selected regions".

Nintendo TVii, an interactive programme guide for the Wii U, will launch in Europe sometime next year, the company has announced.

Nintendo UK updated its site with information about the app over the weekend.

It will launch in "selected regions throughout Europe in 2013" and enable users to "find, watch and engage with TV shows and movies in entirely new ways".

Never miss X Factor again.

The app brings together programming from regular TV channels, on-demand services and subscription options such as Netflix and Sky.

The Wii U GamePad can be used to navigate the content and display additional information.

You could look up live league tables during footy matches, for example, or scan Twitter for reactions during X Factor.
