In a press release today, Nintendo has announced that they have partnered up with Japanese advertising agency dentsu Incorporated to create a new online video delivery service for the Wii. Unlike the current services available, Nintendo and dentsu's new 'Wii Channel' will focus primarily on original content, offering cartoons and other entertainment programs that were created for this new service.

This will launch early 2009 in Japan, and could see overseas launches later next year.
